A prominent part of their repertoire consists of top pop hits of the 20th century. Masterpieces in terms of arrangement, they faithfully reflect the atmosphere of the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s, and infuse the audience with enthusiasm.

The name of the ensemble, Affabre Concinui, comes from Latin and means “perfectly attuned“, which is an artistic credo of the group.
