Enjoy amazing Brazilian cuisine while relaxing to the soothing sounds of classical guitar works from South America
Looking forward to playing a special set of repertoire consisting of classics from South America, covering at least half the nations. The last show at Brasil Arts was a fun set of only Brazilian music. Brazil will continue to be heavily included but now expanding to countries such as Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Paraguay, Venezuela and more!
