The duo, formed by Lily Noroozi on vocals, accordion, and daf (Middle Eastern percussion), and Isao Bredel Samson on vocals and nyckelharpa (Swedish keyed fiddle), explores musical landscapes encompassing traditional, Western popular, medieval, Eastern, tribal, and even soul music. Möng's music is unique, captivating, dreamlike, and vibrant… While they use traditional instruments, their music is nonetheless contemporary. It opens a window to worlds where dreams and reality feed off each other, worlds in which they express themselves in "Izalien," a musical and imaginary language that reveals what words often struggle to convey… Their first album, "Finnen," has been well-received by a wide audience in numerous venues and festivals.

In the vast world of experimental music, the duo Möng mixes several musical universes. Traditional, popular, medieval, and oriental, with a touch of electro, the two women blend all these musical styles and invent a new language to interpret them. On stage, Lily and Isao take the audience on a beautiful waking dream.
The girls of the duo Möng are nomads in every sense of the word. Their lifestyle is perfectly consistent with the music they perform. An electro-folk with very personal accents.
Lily and Isao sing together and play their music on traditional instruments such as the Daf (Middle Eastern percussion) or the Nyckelharpa, a Swedish bowed string instrument. For their first album "Finnen," the duo surrounded themselves with other musicians. The result evokes oriental and captivating accents and gives each instrument as much space as the voices.
Performed in Izalien, a musical and imaginary language, Möng's music is unique, dreamlike, and vibrant. "The goal of this language is to stop intellectualizing music and to speak from the heart. Each sound evokes an emotion, and everyone can interpret it according to their own feelings," explains Isao.
