Brazilian rhythms and melodies meet jazz harmony and improvisation in Dani & Debora Gurgel Quartet. An inseparable union between instrumental music and carefully written words, putting Dani’s voice as a scatting wood wind instrument into a jazz ambient of improvisation, stitched along the grooves of Brazilian popular music. Their original compositions are accompanied by a few bold arrangements of carefully selected Brazilian, jazz and pop repertoire.
DDG4 frequently performs in Japan (Blue Note, Tokyo Jazz Festival) and played festivals in Uruguay, Brazil, Paraguay and Italy.
