Hadouk Trio emerged as a beacon of world fusion, adeptly blending ethno-jazz with a myriad of musical traditions. The core lineup of the group consisted of multi-instrumentalist Didier Malherbe (often known for his earlier work with the progressive rock band Gong), the virtuosic wind player Loy Ehrlich, and the percussive genius of Steve Shehan. Together they crafted a sound characterized by a mesmerizing mix of Western and Eastern influences, using a wide array of instruments, from the duduk and the hulusi to the djembe and the hang.

Over the years, Hadouk Trio's innovative approach to music attracted a dedicated following. Releases like "Air Hadouk," "Now," "Shamanimal," and "Utopies (Deluxe Edition)" showcase their ability to converge the worlds of traditional folklore, jazz sophistication, and ambient soundscapes. The trio’s music is an auditory odyssey that toys with atmospheric textures, intricate rhythms, and melodic lines that are as evocative as they are unpredictable. Famed for their live performances, which often feel like spontaneous acts of creation, Hadouk Trio's recordings manage to capture the essence of their improvisational spirit while delivering meticulously crafted pieces that resonate with the heart and mind.
