Biography Dani & Debora Gurgel Quarteto
Dani & Debora Gurgel Quarteto
Brazilian rhythms and melodies meet jazz harmony and improvisation. Dani Gurgel & Debora Gurgel present their original compositions and bold arrangements of Brazilian standards.
This quartet is the outcome of the reunion of Debora Gurgel and Dani Gurgel’s solo works. They have always been in each other’s projects, as composition and interpretation partners, joining their voice and piano into one for the last two decades. Drummer Thiago Rabello and bassist Sidiel Vieira beautifully complete this family style quartet.
