With The Congruent Five, Michael Simon presents a brand new band of emerging musicians who are already making their mark in the music scene. Spanish, African, Latin American and Asian elements fuse into an exciting melting pot!

Social distancing is no longer there, but a post-Covid era is certainly different than before. Deep connection, harmony, congruence and an inspiring perspective are valuable elements that people pay more attention too. Likewise, the quality of a relationship, a good and familiar feeling of like-minded people is important for what can be made together. With this mindset, Michael found the members of his new band. With a wealth of diverse cultural backgrounds in The Congruent Five, Michael will put a new spin on his own compositions.
