Join us in the encounter of two musicians from two different countries in South America, Brazil and Peru. With their music they will take us to the magical world of the Latin American cultures. Guitarist Alfredo Muro and pianist/flautist Jovino Santos Neto will be the featured performers.

He has released several recordings as the leader of his own ensemble and also in collaboration with other musicians. He has received several jazz and chamber music commissions.
His 2 most recent CDs, “Canto do Rio” (2004) and “Roda Carioca” (2006) were both nominated for a Latin Grammy. His latest release is “Alma do Nordeste”, inspired by the music of Northeastern Brazil.
