We are two, sometimes three.

Ingredients:
*Take a South American girl (made in Peru, produced in Australia)
*A classical pianist (turned avant garde multi-instrumentalist)
Mix influences past, present and future, add native soil, hearts, ideas, dreams, insanity and memories; leave to set in bedroom, adding instruments to taste when ready, present to them

Themes include, soundtrack moods, bossa nova/samba rhythms and the usual catchy pop tunes with underlying beats. 2005 was spent recording an album, still in my computer.

Name drops n worldy words: PdR took cajon classes learning 'festejo' with Chebo Ballumbrosio in Lima, Peru (afro-peruvian Maestro, yeah you know him); played with latin jazz director, Octavio Figueroa in LA (ok so he knows ppl). Played gigs New York City, London, Portland OR; also strummed in Barcelona and France.

PdR also plays with the Soundparticles / Rio de Melodie. CC is a Music Teacher/November novelist/Blogger.
