In 2021, Lara Klaus won the Silver Syli at the 14th edition of the Syli d’Or de la musique du monde as well as the Coup de cœur award from the Conseil des arts de Montréal. 

The music of Lara Klaus divinely combines the rhythms of her native northeastern Brazil with American soul and Afro-Latin intonations, using a wide range of Brazilian percussion instruments such as pandeiro, alfaia and zabumba.

Diogo Ramos is a singer-songwriter from Sao Paolo, Brazil. His music is part of the long tradition of Brazilian popular singers. Having studied music, especially guitar, since the age of 13, he was awarded the Vinicius de Moraes Prize at the age of 16 as a guitarist-performer.

André Galamba is a guitarist and bassist currently based in Montreal. His music comes directly from Recife, a major cultural center of Northeast Brazil, where he grew up. His musical influences, of a great rhythmic and harmonic variety, have made André a versatile and complete musician.
