João Pedro Fonseca Semedo presents an atypical group of musicians, featuring vibraphone and trumpet—instruments normally associated with a "standard" jazz combo. Showcasing their interests and music from their countries of origin, the group will play bossa nova, jazz, Latin, Afro-Cuban, and original material. 

Watch Semedo's rendition of "Lisboa Menina e Moça" by Paulo Carvalho, Joaquim Pessoa, Ary dos Santos, and Fernando Tordo:
