"If there must be peace"by Lao-Tse

It there is to be peace in the world,

There must be peace in the nations.

If there is to be peace in the nations,

There must be peace in the cities.

Is there is to be peace in the cities,

There must be peace between neighbors.

If there is to be peace between neighbors,

There must be peace in the home.

If there is to be peace in the home,

There must be peace in the heart.

Have a peaceful holiday season my friends.

Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. it turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos into order, confusion into clarity...It turns problems into gifts, failures into sucess, the unexpected into perfect timing, and mistakes into important events. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today and creates a vision for tomorrow". Melodie Beattie - Happy, Happy Thanksgiving!

 

 

Hello everyone,

I am very happy to let you know that I will be performing with the Glendale Pops Orchestra on September 22nd. Singing with a full orchestra is always a lot of fun.

Please check my calendar and Face Book for more information.

Hi my friends,

Hope life is treating you well and that you are enjoying the Summer.

I had a great time in Boston and New York this June.

I got to play with some dear friends like Adriano Santos, Gilson Schachnik, Lance Van Lenten, Fernando Huergo and Gustavo Amarante.

I also got to meet and play with this amazing pianist Misha Tsignov who not only is a great pianist but also a fun guy to be around.

Another great thing is that I got to hang out a lot with my sister Marisa who lives in Boston.

I saw some old friends, went to a Broadway show and ate all the great New England clam chowder, lobsters, etc.....

Time for a diet now!

Dear friends,

Hope you can come to Los Angeles, Studio Cityt on Wednesday, February 2nd for a fun evening of Brazilian Jazz.

Aaron Serfaty on drums, Otmaro Ruiz on piano, Dave Roblair on acoustic bass and of course, me on vocals and guitar.

Hi everybody,
Just a quick note to let you know that we had a great time in the East Coast.
Newport Rhode Island was beautiful and my sister had a great wedding anniversary party in a gorgeous hotel overlooking the ocean. Paris, Luana, Marcia, my sister from Brazil, Giovanna, my niece and Cida a new friend from Brazil were also there.
It was great.
Boston was also awesome. what a beautiful town; I had lived there for ten years and had forgotten what a gorgeous place that is.
Than, the crazy, the awesome, the enchanted, the expensive, the one and only New York City. I had also forgotten what an incredible place that is.
We had a great time shopping, exploring and the best of all, I've got to perform with some of my very favorite musicians: Adriano Santos on drums, Helio Alves on keys and Gustavo Amarante on bass. It was awesome!!!!

I am excited to be back in New York after such a long time!
Will be there playing on July 21st at 10:00 pm with my friends Adriano Santos, Helio Alves and Gustavo Marante.It should be lots of fun and great Brazilian Jazz.

We had lots of fun last night at Vitello's!

The place is awesome, the food was great, the audience was also great the band amazing and the music.....

We had a blast!

Thanks so much
