Flutist Dominique Gagné and 7-string guitarist Cesar Garabini have been exploring the world of Brazilian music together for the past 10 years. Their shows are a joyous and exuberant expression of Samba, Choro, Bossa Nova, Forró and Brazilian jazz, showcasing their virtuosity, while making the music inviting, accessible, and danceable. They look forward to releasing their first album as a duo this year.
Originally from Minas Gerais, Brazil, Cesar Garabini is in demand internationally as a virtuoso 7-string guitarist. He especially loves Choro, the historical precedent to Samba and Bossa Nova. Choro emerged in Rio De Janeiro in the 1890s as an infectious mix of European classical music and African rhythms. Cesar is equally at home with Samba, Bossa Nova, Choro, Jazz and Portuguese Fado. He has performed at Jazz at Lincoln Center, the Jazz Standard, Birdland, Columbia University, and the Herbst Theater.. He has shared the stage Leny Andrade, Marcos Sacramento, Badi Assad, Anat Cohen, Olli Soikkeli and Douglas Lora and has been featured on NPR, NBC and Global TV in Brazil. Cesar hosts a monthly Roda with the Choro group Regional de New York and is
faculty at Choro Camp New England. http://cesargarabini.weebly.com/
