Sandro Alves
From Rio de Janeiro, percussionist Sandro Alves is well-known for his musical diversity. He is a specialist at mixing the traditional styles of Afro-Brazilian music with modern jazz. Besides playing with Trio Baru and Camerata Caipira, he can also be seen all around Brazil as a sideman of some of the country's star singers.

Nelson Latif
Cavaquinho and acoustic guitar player Nelson Latif formed his musical identity in the legendary jazz scene of 1980’s São Paulo. With roots in choro and jazz, Latif merges Brazilian styles and a classical guitar technique with diverse musical influences. In his melodic phrasing one hears bebop and Brazilian syncopations.
Latif started his studies at age fourteen. During the 90’s he moved to Amsterdam and started performing on the cavaquinho, an instrument that has since become his trademark.
