Virtuosic choro, poetic bossanova, and captivating samba

Danish musician Alexander Kraglund is considered one of the absolute best violinists in the Brazilian music tradition and in recent years has also proven to be an excellent harmonica player and singer.

With an undeniable authenticity and captivating playing style, Alexander Kraglund has thrilled audiences at home and abroad.

He brings the Brazilian bassist Romulo Duarte, who with his fabulous playing has made his way to the top of the Brazilian music scene, among others in the company of Gilberto Gil, Milton Nascimento, Caetano Veloso, and Rosa Passos.

Behind the drums is Jonas Johansen, who in addition to being a living legend on the Danish jazz scene is also known for his collaboration with the Brazilian pianist and singer Eliane Elias.

It is all brought together by guitarist Jeppe Holst, who with an incomparably tasteful guitar playing shows the way through the music's harmonious nooks and crannies.

The style is Brazilian, and the four musicians unfold the virtuosity of the choro, the poetry of the bossa nova, and the captivating rhythms of the samba in a terrific ensemble.
