Lineup includes:

- Renesito Avich & Friends

- Mauricio Rodriguez & the MJR Latin Project

- O Som Do Jazz with Andrea Moraes Manson & José Valentino Ruiz

Renesito Avich is a Cuban-born, Latin Grammy recipient and master of the tres guitar. His concerts are always exciting and entertaining, and his quartet includes some of the best Latin musicians in the state.

Mauricio Rodriguez & the MJR Latin Project revives the Latin jazz scene with original compositions with its intricate fusion of Latin rhythms and momentary flashbacks to the Latin greats of musical history.

O Som Do Jazz features Rio de Janeiro singer Andrea Moraes Manson and an international crew of musicians performing samba-jazz, Bossa Nova, Baião and MPB. Imagine Brazilian musicians in love with American jazz playing in Rio de Janeiro night clubs circa 1965 - and you get an idea of what O Som Do Jazz is about. Special guest Latin Grammy recipient José Valentino Ruiz joins the group.
