"Combining sounds from the United States and Brazil, Ted Falcon and
Pablo Fagundes form a dynamic duo, using the harmonica, violin, and
mandolin. Their sound ranges from Brazilian acoustic music such as
choro, samba, and forró, to American roots music such as blues, jazz,
and rock. For their LACMA concert, they bring a world music quartet
with Brazilian seven-string guitar and percussion."

INTERNET TV:
Just back from Brazil, Ted amd Pablo performed many concerts and
national TV programs including TV Camara's "Talentos", and
Instrumental SESC Brasil.
Check out one of these performances here:
TV Câmara http://www2.camara.gov.br/tv
(Click on Talentos---then Veja)
TV Camara---Talentos--is in my opininon Brazil's highest quality in
terms of sound quality and video. Shot in Brasilia, it is a one hour
program that tastefully blends interviews with music. We filmed with
2 bands---choro band and jazz band to represent the diversity of our
CD, Transcontinental Music Express. Highly recommended program!
Check out the great musicians of Brasilia:
Amoy Ribas-percussion, Enrique Neto--7 string guitar, Leo Benon-
cavaquinho, Raphael Black--drums, Wava El Afiouni---bass, and Marcos
Moraes--guitar
Instrumental SESC Brasil http://200.225.157.150/ui/show.aspx?id=70
SESC Instrumental was a special show filmed in Sao Paulo with the
participation of guitar virtuoso Alessandro Penezzi. Also Roberta
Valente, pandeiro and Paulo Ramos, guitar.
The site is very interactive, and you can choose to see individual
songs as well as our interviews....
Thanks for your support.
