DUO ATLÂNTICO
Rogério Bicudo – guitar│Daniel Montes – 7 strings guitar

Rogério Bicudo and Daniel Montes, musicians from Rio de Janeiro based in
Amsterdam, form Duo Atlântico a duo whose repertoire is an ode to the
acoustic guitar.

The interaction of the six- and seven-string guitars of this duo derives
from a very special musical idiom in which the boundaries between
classical and popular music merge in a very natural way. Duo Atlântico combines its own compositions with the heritage of
timeless musical traditions, navigating rhythms of the ocean that gave
it its name.

On this occasion they invite a special guest to join them at some tunes.
