Pablo and Helena Casella - uncle and cousin - bring their deep-rooted family bond to life in an intimate duo concert. Their music exudes Brazilian warmth: from atmospheric ballads to ritualistic percussion, from melancholy to party.
With guitar, keys, percussion and two voices that complement each other perfectly, they perform original compositions and Brazilian classics. A disarming musical conversation between generations, cultures and hearts.
