About
Portfolio BOSSA 2026: (link hidden)
"Their show reflects who they are as a duo: precise, exuberant, and full of taste. It truly does sound like a quartet—a fresh, cool performance whose interpretations enchant listeners and inspire audiences. From an indulgently soft bossa to a hypnotic jazzy vibe, they carry the audience into a unique Brazilian tropical trance—a must-see experience!" by Josa Souza @ Art Critic
A Unique Performance:
The essence of the duo’s music is a fusion atmosphere, shaped by Tomati’s electric guitar, warm Brazilian harmonies, and jazz and blues improvisations. This sound is matched by Michelle’s unique and powerful interpretations, featuring highly sophisticated versions, scat singing, and energetic performances—often while playing shakers and dancing. Her crystal-clear, precise voice lets the exquisite melodies shine alongside Tomati’s inventive arrangements and grooves, making him a true wizard of sound on the guitar.
Together, they perform Brazilian music infused with elements of jazz, blues, and Afro-samba, creating a style that is unique, elegant, and sophisticated, yet at the same time electric and sensual.
Carlos “Tomati” – Classical & electric guitar: harmony, solo lines, bass textures, and whistle.
