Description:
"Arco Iris," the Spanish word for 'Rainbow,' is a trio combining the talents of singer Sally Ramirez, guitarist Doug Robinson and percussionist Jorge Cuevas. The group performs a blend of melodic Brazilian and Latin music from both past and present. Jorge punctuates the Latin harmonies with subtle and lively sound effects, adding touches of magic to the group's soulful essence.
This is truly beautiful music for the ears and the soul. Listen to some samples:
