BIOGRAPHY
Carioca, native of Rio de janeiro,Kleber Jorge comes from a family rich in a musical tradition that was passed by song - his culturally vibrant environment
working in harmony with his bloodline - and it was not long before his innate musical talents were recognized and nurtured.
Given his first guitar at the age of eight ,Kleber was playing professionally by the time he was a teen.Upon completing a music theory education at Rio's music schooll, he performed regurlary in the city's top venues.
The Brazilian musician ventured beyond his own borders in the mid-1980's to tour Miami,and soon thereafter, he entertained at Pari's Palais de sport for a month run.
Returning to his home town by 1988, after several years of performing and recording in South America,
Kleber decided to move to Los Angeles to further develop his musical skills.
He studied guitar under Ted Greene and arranging under respected master Moacir Santos and ultimately formed his own group,touring California to the delight of many west coast audiences.
still based in L.A.,Kleber has since recorded and performed with a variety of World-renowned musicians, including Sergio Mendes , Dory Caymmi , Rita Lee, Leny Andrade, Jonh Patitucci, Sadao Watanabe, Kevyn Lettau, Jane Monheit, Boney James, Kevin Toney, Lisa Ono, Chris Bennett, Andy Narell, among others. He released his first solo album "Voltar Pro Rio" on Sonic Images Jazz.
Kleber continues tour and record with Sergio Mendes group and still play his own engagements.

Hola mi Amigo... There is a show at The Getty Center not to be missed. Not just because I'll be the percussionist for the two shows, but because Maria de Barros is truly a star worth seeing.
Sounds of L.A. continues with the diverse melodies and rhythms of lusophone Africa.
The concert opens with a return visit by Cape Verdean singer Maria de Barros, who brings her irresistible joie de vivre back to the Getty Center. She shares the stage with Congo-born Angolan Ricardo Lemvo and his band Makina Loca. Both de Barros and Lemvo are truly multicultural polyglots, equally at home singing in everything from Portuguese and Spanish to English and French.
