Their collaboration unites Afro-Cuban rhythms, modern jazz harmonies and the vibrant traditions of Brazilian music – from choro to samba, bossa nova to jazz. What emerges is a dialogue of dazzling improvisation, rhythmic fire and lyrical depth, expanding the boundaries of contemporary jazz while celebrating its universal spirit. Gonzalo Rubalcaba is a Cuban piano virtuoso and one of the most respected musicians of our time. Rising to international prominence in the 1980s, he quickly became known for his breathtaking technique, rhythmic complexity and lyrical sensitivity. A multi-Grammy winner, Rubalcaba has worked with legends such as Charlie Haden, Ron Carter, Joe Lovano and Paul Motian. His music remains deeply rooted in Afro-Cuban traditions while constantly pushing the harmonic and expressive frontiers of jazz. Hamilton de Holanda has redefined the role of the bandolim (10-string mandolin) for the 21st century. A multiple award-winner with over one million monthly listeners on Spotify, he combines dazzling speed and improvisational brilliance with a warm, soulful expressiveness. De Holanda draws on choro, samba, bossa nova and jazz, creating a unique voice that has captivated audiences worldwide. His collaborations include Chick Corea, Wynton Marsalis, Egberto Gismonti and many others. Today, he is celebrated as one of Brazil’s most innovative and influential musicians.
