& MARCELO
MORGANA MORENO & MARCELO ROSÁRIO DUO
Virtuosity, connection and high musical interaction are some of the adjectives that flutist Morgana Moreno and guitarist Marcelo Rosário collect by presenting "Nascente", the duo's latest project and which in 2019 went through Brazil and Europe, such as Salvador, Brasilia, Portugal, Spain, Germany and the Netherlands. Using an intimate lineup - flute and guitar - musicians dialogue through improvisation, freedom and in a more laid-back atmosphere. The duo line up gives more visibility to the essence of their instruments and to the artistic and musical affinity of them. This project revels their Brazilian music influences through its re-readings and own compositions and embraces the most diverse genres such as samba, choro, forró, etc.
