In Markku Lepistö DUOS, Lepistö explores a musical journey that transcends borders and traditions. Collaborating with notable diatonic accordionists Riccardo Tesi (Italy), Leija Lautamaja (Finland), Xabi Aburruzaga (Euskadi), and Eva Parmenter (Portugal), Lepistö presents two original compositions with each artist. Every duet captures the vibrant musical exchange between two musicians from different backgrounds, each bringing a fresh interpretation to the album.

DUOS -albumilla Lepistö kutsuu kuulijan matkalle, joka ylittää rajat ja traditiot. Lepistö sävelsi kaksi uutta kappaletta esitettäväksi kunkin taiteilijan kanssa. Albumilla esiintyvät haitaristit ovat Riccardo Tesi (Italia), Leija Lautamaja (Suomi), Xabi Aburruzaga (Baskimaa) ja Eva Parmenter (Portugali). Jokainen duetto vangitsee kahden eri taustaisen muusikon musiikillisen vuorovaikutuksen, luoden tuoreen tulkinnan ja tunnelman albumille.
