DESCRIPTION:Canta\, Violino! Is an instrumental Brazilian trio featuring original Brazilian choro and samba. The trio brings together several award-winning virtuosos: U.S. violinist Andrew Finn Magill\, Brazilian percussionist Clarice Cast and Brazilian 7-string guitarist Nando Duarte. \nChoro was the first popular Brazilian music\, emerging in the 1870s\, and is the precursor to samba\, bossanova and modern popular Brazilian music. Renowned for its virtuosic musicianship and diverse rhythmic palette\, it is one of the most exciting instrumental genres on the planet. Andrew Finn Magill who has been featured on NPR and PBS\, moved to Brazil in 2014 to immerse himself in Brazilian choro music. Magill was signed to Ropeadope Records in 2018 for his original Brazilian music project. He followed up that release in 2021 with the sequel Festa!

She currently teaches World Percussion at College of the Canyons is an active performer\, recording artist\, and composer in Los Angeles\, CA and is a regular clinician at colleges\, universities\, and percussion festivals\, including the Percussive Arts Society International Convention\, California Brazil Camp\, and Choro Camp New England. She is heavily influenced by her native Brazilian culture\, and it has been her driving force to learn\, perform\, write\, and teach these styles. Clarice proudly endorses Contemporânea Musical\, Tycoon Percussion Instruments\, TRX Cymbals\, and Ahead Armor Cases. \nLos Angeles-based composer and seven-string guitarist Nando Duarte is celebrated for his extensive work in film\, advertising\, and sound design\, contributing to projects for major brands like Taco Bell and HBO\, and earning multiple awards for his scoring and arrangements.
