Luiz Caracol is a singer-songwriter, guitarist and bassist based in Lisbon, Portugal. Just before his birth, his parents moved from Angola to the south of Portugal, settling in an African, Brazilian and Portuguese community. This artistically rich and diverse environment had a formative influence on Luiz, and his music expresses his mestiça identity and multi-cultural life experiences.
Over the past twenty years, Luiz has built a substantial recording and performing career, working with top Lusophone artists including Sara Tavares, Jorge Palma, Pierre Aderne, Aline Frazão, Susana Travassos, Manecas Costa, Fernanda Abreu, Uxia and Tito Paris. In 2011, he was featured in the documentary “MPB: Música Portuguesa Brasileira” (MPB – Portuguese Brazilian Music) broadcast by Portuguese National Television and Brazil's Globo television network.
Eleanor Dubinsky is a New York City based singer-songwriter, cellist, guitarist, dancer and performance artist.

She sings in English, French, Spanish and Portuguese and has spent fertile creative time in France, Czech Republic, Argentina, Uruguay, Portugal, Senegal and Cape Verde. Eleanor has released two CDs to date, Touch The Sky (2011) and Listen To The Music (2012), as well as single recordings from bossa-flavored French classics to group compositions with jazz and world musicians. Eleanor's songs have been featured on MTV, Lifetime and Animal Planet, ads for American Express, radio stations throughout Mexico and NPR, and her song, “Wait For You” won the Sennheiser recording contest at the 2012 ASCAP EXPO.
