TONYNHO DOS SANTOS hails originally from Simao Dias-Se in Brazil and after fifteen successful years in Germany touring with various bands, he came to Ireland and is living the last three years in Cork.
His main instrument is the trumpet which he studied in the University of Salvador da Bahía. Tonynho developed a unique style of playing the trumpet which reaches from ever so soft to powerfully aggressive. He also plays guitar, percussion, steel drums and sings.
His source of inspiration - his great idol Miles Davis - becomes obvious in his exceptional improvisation skills. Tonynho is a multi talented musician and a charismatic example of the rich musical culture that originates in Brazil. His playing is more than magical music - it is musical magic!
RAJ PADAM is originally from Punjab in India and has been living in Ireland for over 25 years. He works with traditional ethnic percussion including Indian Tabla, Middle Eastern Darabuka drum and African drums, bringing together a fusion of global influences. He also teaches African drumming in schools and communities in Cork city and county.
