Dani & Debora Gurgel

Dani Gurgel & Debora Gurgel mix Jazz and Brazilian roots serendipitously. Dani Gurgel’s voice is a scatting instrument, stitched along Debora Gurgel’s left hand piano grooves, putting jazz improvisation into Brazilian rhythms. For the 10th anniversary of their Dani & Debora Gurgel Quartet (DDG4) they have invited 15 more musicians, in order to become the DDG19 Big Band. With all original music by Debora and Dani Gurgel, arrangements by Debora Gurgel and music production by Big Rabello, DDG19 is an encounter of Brazilian rhythms and with a contemporary big band.

For the past two decades, Dani has released 6 albums of her own and 8 albums with “Dani & Debora Gurgel Quarteto”, which was nicknamed “DDG4” by their Japanese fans.They have been awarded the Brazilian Music Professionals and Japan’s Best Brazilian Album awards multiple times, as well as Digital Innovation Prize and Cultural Action Program, and toured extensively through Japan, South America, and Europe.
