Duo Violão Plus One

Rio de Janeiro based guitarists and classically trained musicians, Rogério Souza and Edinho Gerber, and percussionist Ami Molinelli combine the choro tradition, Brazil’s first original musical genre, with improvisation, original compositions, and a jazz vocabulary. This group’s first album, “A História de Choro”, released in 2019, was featured as one of the best musical albums of the Bay Area by the San Jose Mercury News. Duo Violão Plus One has headlined numerous music festivals in the US and elsewhere: Berkeley Choro Festival, Healdsburg Jazz Festival, Sound Room (OAKLAND), California Conservatory of Jazz, Blue Whale (L.A.), Muckenthaler Performing Arts Center (L.A.), and performed at university campuses across the US.
