Brazilian Chamber Jazz.

The sound of the duo is a fusion of Marco Antonio da Costas multifaceted guitar playing supporting the delicacy of the powerful yet fragile voice of Laura Lenhardt. Within their compositions beyond jazz and brazilian music, they are playing with the beauty of transparence and sophistication. Sometimes intimate, sometimes melancholic, sometimes energetic.

An ode to the art of duo playing – a dialogue with it’s own form of freedom and complexity. Nearness and space. Opposition and harmony.

"Mit Akkordeon und Klarinette auf Weltreise"

We are a female vocal ensemble based in Zagreb, Croatia, playing Brazilian music. The repertoire is an interesting array of bossa nova, samba and Brazilian popular music (aka MPB), as arranged by Marco Antonio da Costa. Using vocal percussion and challenging harmonies is what makes us stand out.
