Biography
Brazilian guitar duo ideal for events, functions, weddings, parties and festivals.
They have been performing for the last three years blending together intricate melodies over authentic, Latin grooves. The repertoire ranges from soft, lilting bossa nova through to fast, driving samba via classical style choro pieces and also jazz. They can therefore cater for any occasion based on the requirements of the client.
Their music is continually evolving and the fact that the guitarists perform regularly in a variety of venues and situations means that spontaneity and improvisation play a role in the performance, breathing life into the music to keep it fresh.
Also available with singers and a range of instruments up to a full band.
They can play any famous jazz standards (either in swing style or Bossa nova style), ballads or Latin jazz tunes (such as Besame Mucho) if you wish and also classical guitar masterpieces and Waltz's from other South American countries (Argentinian, Venezuelan pieces etc..) ie, La Catedral by Barrios, Vals Venzolano No.3 by Lauro or even the famous Spanish Recuerdos de la Alhambra by Tarrega.
