Daniel Santiago & Pedro Martins are a tremendously powerful and expressive guitar duo. These guys live and breathe guitar, rhythm, melody, harmony, feeling, and sound. It's been my honour to work with them on several different projects both together and individually. This duo is one of the great duos of the ages, and I am grateful to have been involved so closely, having recorded and produced this album in Berlin at Heartcore Studios.

Simbiose combines two of Brazil’s most thoughtful young guitarists Pedro Martins (winner of the 2015 Montreal Jazz Festival Electric Guitar Competition) and Daniel Santiago for a release that confirms the tradition of Brazilian jazz guitar continues into a new generation. The two join forces in their unbridled creativity, expanding the language and literature of their instruments all while maintaining sensitivity to the distinct nature of being “Brasileiro”.
