  1600 Santa Lucia Ave, San Bruno. $10
 
  Ricardo Peixoto and Carlos Oliveira are among the top
  representatives of Brazilian guitar in the US today.
  They are also accomplished composers and arrangers
  and have collaborated in many musical projects for
  over two decades. Their performances explore their
  countrys rich and diverse traditions, both in their
  original work and in their arrangements of Brazilian
  classics, while also allowing for spontaneous
  interaction with each other and the music in the
  moment. Their approach is grounded both in the jazz
  and Brazilian music traditions, but always ventures
  well beyond their borders, combining rich melodies,
  unusual harmonies, and the unmistakable rhythms of
  Brazil.
