Paraphrasing Vinicius de MORAES, a great figure of Bossa Nova, « Life is
the art of the encounter ». And it was this « art » that allowed the duo
to meet each other.

While Vitor GARBELOTTO's guitar and Roberto DE OLIVEIRA's trombone cross
the same ocean departing from Brazil, it is nevertheless in France that
they become partners and created this musical duo.
The northeast trombone and the south guitar represent a plural Brazil.
Whether it comes from the warm virtuosity of the guitar or the rhythmic
breath of his trombone’s partner, the duo invites us to a sweet journey
with the best of Brazilian flavors, in a mix of complementary, opposed,
composed and dynamic chords.

GARBELOTTO et DE OLIVEIRA, bring with them all their influences, from
the classical to the popular music, submerging the public in the
Brazilian’s universe throw original compositions as well as the greater
works by the Brazilian masters such as Radamés GNATTALI, Raul de SOUZA,
Baden POWELL and Tom JOBIM.

VITOR GARBELOTTO is a guitarist, composer, arranger and poet. An
emerging figure in contemporary Brazilian guitar, he has dual graduation
