Brazilian musician Ricardo Frota offers a variety of traditional and contemporary rhythms and songs from Brazil and the Amazon region. A seasoned multi-instrumentalist, Frota's performance revolves around his unorthodox and playful use of traditional and invented rhythm instruments combined with the use of his voice as an additional rhythm instrument, to create new dimensions in sound making.

Brazilian music has held a special fascination for guitarist and vocalist Deborah Rocha since she first heard it many years ago over static-filled radio waves in Kansas. Now she shares her interpretations of Brazilian lyrics, rhythms, melodies, harmonies, and joy with American audiences.
