How to unlock the Songs of Serkonos achievement in Dishonored 2 - Definitive Guide

You must listen to at least a portion of a song (Might want to be safe and just listen to an entire song) from musical duos, 3 times across 1 playthrough. You do not need to be close to the duo, you can stand back and zoom in on them to hear the song and get credit towards this.
The duos are located as follows:

Mission 2 - Edge of the World - This duo is located below the rail system at Addermire Station, past the wall of light and after the Overseer building. If you're dropping off a body to Mindy Blanchard, the duo can be spotted from the top of the stairs that lead down to her.

Mission 6 - Dust District - This duo is located in the Crone's Hound Pub in Howler territory. You will have to stay back at a distance to avoid detection by anyone that could startle the duo. A good place to watch from is the third floor roof area that overlooks where they're performing.

Mission 8 - Grand Palace - When you start this mission, go to where the road splits (You should notice two guards at this intersection who will head off to the left) and take a right and go up the stairs to another main street. Heading left onto this street, you should see another street/alleyway on your right with a large spotlight. Heading into this alleyway, the duo is located at the end with a crowd. Be aware that this alleyway is patrolled by some of the Howler gang who will attack you, so approach carefully or from another vantage point.

At all costs, avoid doing anything in the general area to the duos to startle them. If they run away, you will not be able to watch them and get credit.

For those of you who are visual, below is a video by Random Chievo's, showing the locations.

Getting the trophy for siding with the Howlers will make the duo in the Pub flee.

Robbing multiple black market shops will also void the trophy.

DO NOT ROB MORE THAN ONE BLACK MARKET IF YOU ARE GOING TO ATTEMPT THIS. If you rob 2 or more black markets, you won't be able to access the last musical duo, and you have to do this In a single playthru.

ANOTHER IMPORTANT NOTE IS THAT YOU NEED TO LISTEN TO THE ENTIRETY OF THE SONG, INCLUDING THE INSTRUMENTAL. It doesn't matter whether you grab the lyrics, all that matters is that you are nearby them when they sing their entire song, and if for some reason, you don't hear instrumental, then you need to stay there and wait for them to start again. The second time you will typically hear instrumental, however, I would recommend you stay for 2 rounds of the full song w/ instrumental to be safe. If you don't stick around for the instrumental, ur gunna be fucked in the cheeks.

Mission 02: Edge of the World
First duo is located in a street outside of Mindy's drop off location.

Mission 06: Dust District
Located on the main floor of the saloon where Paolo is located.

Mission 08: The Grand Palace
Located outside the black market, there'll be two howlers guarding the little entrance IF YOU HAVE NOT ROBBED THE BLACK MARKETS.

This achievement is missable. It is earned over the course of a single playthrough, particularly in Mission 2, Edge of the World, Mission 6, The Dust District, and Mission 8, The Grand Palace.

The first opportunity you'll have to listen to the musical duo's song is during the second mission. Before reaching Addemire Station, just north of the Overseer Outpost, there is a small market-like area with several NPCs roaming around. The two musicians can be found - and heard - in this market. Stick around and listen to the song for a few minutes before carrying on with your objective(s).

Later, on the sixth mission, they can be found inside the saloon where Paolo is located. It may seem wise to eliminate the Vice Overseer and then enter the saloon - so that the Howlers will not attack you - but this will cause the musicians to disappear. Instead, head into the the saloon as soon as you're able to (remaining undetected, of course), and sit yourself in the hallway just before the parlor (or on the balcony of the upper floors). You can hear the song from afar so long as you're facing the musicians and/or using your spyglass. Again, listen to their song for a few minutes before continuing on with the mission.

The third and final opportunity comes during the eighth mission. Just before passing through the Wall of Light to the Grand Palace, hitch a right on the street and make your way over to the well-lit alleyway. There are two Howlers sitting down and speaking; wait until the enemies have finished talking and have separated before eliminating them. Now climb the stairs and in the distance you should be able to see the musical duo surrounded by three civilians. Join the crowd, listen to their song for a few minutes, and then be on your way. The achievement should unlock as you leave the alleyway.

NOTE: Do not cause any sort of panic in Mission 2, 6, or 8, otherwise the musicians will run away and you cannot hear their songs. Additionally, it is reported that if you rob multiple Black Market shops (more than one) during your playthrough, the third musical duo will never show up.

The last duo will not appear if you have robbed more than one black market.

If you carry the body of the main caretaker for Paulo, the moaners will not attack you, but the 2nd blow will not appear.

The trophy is buggy in New Game+ mode, I tried to clear it three times from scratch to no avail.

Strange, but deleting the game helped, after which the trophy immediately dropped on the last save.

1. Rob no more than one underground store. 2. Listen to songs to the end, play it safe and don’t rush. 3. Accuracy. The battle will begin - the musicians will scatter, a reboot will cure it.4 On the third musicians, listening to all the compositions will take at least a couple of minutes. Then the trophy drops.

Even after the latest patch, the trophy may become glitchy and not drop. We do as written above, save before the last performance of the duo in Chapter 8, reinstall the game without touching the saves, load before the last performance, listen and get the trophy.

On the third duet I listened to one song in its entirety and the trophy came out.

You can scare them, but only after listening to the song

The third duet performs THREE vocal instrumental songs and all together, on the third the trophy falls. Just be patient and wait.

I can only add to the hint that the third duet performs two songs: one instrumental and one vocal. First listen to both songs performed by them, and only then start “shamanizing” with deleting the game, etc. (Patch 1.04)

In Chapter 2 near Addemir Station.
In Chapter 6, when you go to kill Paolo, he is sitting and they are nearby.
In Chapter 8 near the Underground Shop near the entrance.

Warning:
1) You shouldn't scare them.
2)You shouldn't kill them.
3)You must listen to the music to the end.
4) If you listened from the middle to the end, you should listen again.
5) You must look at them and hear the melody. Get closer.

The trophy is buggy, I already learned all the songs before I got it. In the new game +, if you didn’t take it during the first playthrough, we listen to the first blow in the third mission, then in the dusty quarter, and the last one in the 8th, save on the last blow. We exit, delete the game, do not touch the saves. We install the game again along with the latest patch, go into the game, load the last save, listen to the last blow again and at the end when they finish singing, the trophy is yours.

If you drag Warden Byrne to Paolo's bar, when you cross into enemy territory (the moaners will not attack), the duet will not be there!
I received the trophy on NG+, without dancing with a tambourine, apparently the glitch was fixed with the patch.
