About the Artists
Originally from Rio de Janeiro, guitarist and composer Ricardo Peixoto‘s eloquent style evokes images far beyond his Brazilian territory. His background in classical guitar, Brazilian music, and jazz—which informs his fluid, melodic sense—along with his original harmonic approach place him among the top representatives of Brazilian guitar in the U.S. today. His recent works include Berkeley Choro Ensemble’s 2018 album, The View from Here, featuring three of his compositions, one of which was commissioned specifically for the recording by SFIntermusic and premiered with BCE and the Echo Chamber Orchestra. Peixoto’s recent release, Scary Beautiful (2019), is a mesmerizing collection of compositions, players, and ensembles from the Bay Area as well as Rio de Janeiro. He has recorded, performed, and collaborated with Claudia Villela, Berkeley Choro Ensemble, Flora Purim and Airto, Bud Shank, Paul McCandless, Dom Um Romão, Sivuca, Toots Thielemans, Dori Caymmi, Guinga, and Claudio Roditi among others.
A native of Recife, Brazil, who resided in California for years, acoustic guitarist Carlos Oliveira briefly returns to the U.S. after spending the past several years in his hometown. Oliveira is a master guitarist and arranger, as well as a prolific composer, whose work is influenced by the traditional music of northeastern Brazil and from his extensive performance experience in Recife with local samba, choro, and frevo groups. He is currently recording his next album, to be released at the end of this year, and has also been collaborating with, as well as arranging and composing for, many singers and instrumentalists in Recife and in the U.S. Oliveira has previously performed in California with musicians such as Claudia Vilella, Mike Marshall, and Harvey Wainapel, and has contributed compositions and arrangements to many recording projects.
