Mexicana/J.A.M | Opal Ocean | TEDxMelbourne

Opening the borders of genre,
acoustic guitar duo Opal Ocean fuses
together rock, flamenco techniques, and
progressive pop arrangements to create
their own unique wall of sound. After forming in late 2013, Frenchmen Alex Champ and New Zealander Nadav
Tabak decided like many other great musicians to take to the streets busking,
composing and crafting their original works in the heart of Melbourne, Australia. With their independent “Terra EP” enjoying
great success, selling over 7000 physical copies.

In late 2016 the duo released their highly anticipated debut album “Lost
Fables“recorded with producer Dave Newington and critically acclaimed mixing
and mastering engineer Mark Lewis. Lost Fables, creates a vivid portrayal of
Champ’s and Tabak’s diverse music style and unique relationship with the guitar.

The momentum from Lost Fable‘s release has brought attention to the duo online, going viral with millions of views and countless shares across social media in early 2017. Recently Opal Ocean performed the Melbourne Guitar Show 2017 and is now set to play festivals across Australia and Europe in 2018.
