Gathering some of the very best Brazilian Jazz instrumentalists in the UK scene, Euphonica Bossa is dedicated to exploring the richness of Brazilian instrumental music through sophisticated arrangements and exciting improvisation. Playing an exquisite repertoire comprised of a mix of classics by all-time master Brazilian composers such as Tom Jobim, Joao Bosco and Hermeto Pascoal, as well as music by the new generation of Brazilian composers as well as their own original compositions, the quartet creates a vibrant, virtuoso sound that takes audiences on a journey through Brazil that goes well beyond Bossa Nova.

The quartet is led by Brazilian 7-string guitarist, arranger and composer Luiz Morais, a unique voice in the contemporary Brazilian jazz guitar. Based in London since 2010, he also leads the Luiz Morais Band, forging ahead in creating an innovative and experimental rebirth of the Brazilian musical tradition in the wider landscape of Jazz and world music. He has played with some of the finest contemporary performers in the UK including Adriano Adewale, Gareth Lochrane and Georgia Mancio and has supported the revered Brazilian singer Nando Reis on his European tour and has played with the legendary Gilberto Gil.
