With this name are two thirtysomething Norwegians, Erlend Øye and Eirik Bøe Glambek.
They are Bergen, a quiet (and rainy) city on the coast of Norway, and friends since they were fifteen years, although they have told in an interview that met at the Norwegian Embassy in Pakistan, went to school together, were the two only boys in the class who liked Pink Floyd.

Not appear to share the same dreams then.
After the disc, Eirik Bergen remained to complete his studies in psychology, was matched and had a son, while Erlend, who wanted to see the world, moved to Berlin where he recorded a solo album, was singing with Royksopp and began to Dj.
Erlend also works with The Whitest Boy Alive, a festival band.
The man with the glasses exorbitant likes dance music and there is, for example, 'Boat behind. "
"I often think that our music is very similar to what you would call electronics. It is more similar to that which the pop or rock in the sense that you can hear the texture of the guitar and voice, as if you were faced with a swing of synthesizer up and down. "
In 2004 'Riot on an Empty Street', with Feist on several songs, it took them nearly six hundred hours of recording.
Five years later they have recorded "Declaration of Dependence ', with far fewer hours of study and under the spell of bossa nova.

In the rainy Bergen, far north of Europe, they feel isolated enough to be able to do what they like without worrying about what is fashionable.
Trying to preserve the feeling of writing songs for them and nobody else.
The Pipers of San Jacinto in the Town Hall Square
Three years ago the Latin Grammy changed their lives.
The award for best folk album for 'A fire of pure blood', published by Smithsonian Folkways, picked it up in Las Vegas on November 8, 2007, two of its senior members, Juan Fernandez 'Chuchita' and Manuel Antonio Garcia 'Toño'.
It was the recognition of a lifetime and the music they love.
Since been much requested.
As happened in the fifties, when Toño Fernández toured Colombia, and traveled in Europe and Asia, accompanied by Manuel Zapata Olivella folklorists, writer and ethnomusicologist, and her sister Delia, dancer and choreographer.
It is not possible to speak of The Pipers of San Jacinto without doing Miguel Antonio "Toño" Fernández, the founder, died in 1988 - of this group named the town she was born.
He was the master of the bagpipe, recorder melancholy sound to this music that has spread from the Colombian Caribbean region and whose sound is associated with cumbia.
That cumbia then incorporated into their repertoires orchestras of ballrooms to become one of the most popular genres in America.
He would have been the first to enter letters in the music of the bagpipes.
And theirs are songs like 'Candelaria' and 'petty', that always sound in the presentations of The Pipers of San Jacinto.
There is, in a poetic way to explain the birth of the music of bagpipes in the foothills of the Montes de María, the indigenous Kogi down from the mountains with their flutes imitating the sound of birds, the black was with the cadence of drums, and the Spanish won with his melancholy song.
The band, bagpipes and maracas and drums indigenous Africans, Toño Fernández probably created in the late forties.
And it seems that as early as October 1934, Mr. Fuentes recorded in Cartagena about bagpipes played by Manuel Silvestre.
The documentary "The Pipers of San Jacinto 'lets see Delia Zapata and musicians who are no longer among us tell his story.
More than a century later, the senior from San Jacinto, with musicians from several generations in their ranks, continue to write the history of these rhythms originate in small communities located along the Colombian Caribbean and continue to make people dance with fire cumbia, puya, porro or bullerengue.
Come out to play with sandals sandals they call three points and the instruments that have spent decades wandering around the world: two pipes of reed or millet (plug the two holes and the five female), drum happy (and a conical single patch), a caller (smaller than the cheerful, also tapered, single patch), a drum (cylindrical drum with membranes at both ends), maraca and accordion.
