Rhythms and some instruments from Northeast Brazil lend this NYC group an American take on country music from Brazil.
Vocals are good, the band sounds good, interesting fusion of Brazilian & English vocals.

**3: 3:37 mid to faster, 'forro' accordion, male vocal in English.
4: 5:00 mid tempo male vocal in English, some percussion & accordion
