Violin and Guitar

Earlier today I heard, on the radio, a short snip of violin and guitar duet. The music sounds like gypsie music, or maybe Hungarian. There is no drum, but the simple melodic line suggests a pop piece, a modern, or transcribed.

It's a nice sound. The singing quality of violin sound, combined with a blocked chords (strummed), and plucking sound. It does sound like the guitar sound is amplified, and the violin sound is closer to an electric violin. The combination was not "fighting against each other", but bring out the unique differences, and contribute to a richer whole. There should be more of this type of music around.
