Joyce Moreno 4-time Grammy Award nominee JOYCE MORENO, legendary guitarist, composer and singer, is one of the founding pillars of Brazilian popular music (MPB). Active since 1968, JOYCE MORENO has composed more than 400 songs performed by the biggest names in Brazilian popular music: from Elis Regina and Gal Costa to Milton Nascimento, Sergio Mendes and countless others. Beyond Brazil, Joyce's work has been recorded by Annie Lennox, Wallace Roney, Omara Portuondo, Black Eyed Peas, David Sanchez, Flora Purim among others. To date, she has released 39 personal CDs and two DVDs, in addition to numerous compilations and participations. In 2015, her musical work was honored at Berklee College of Music. Since the beginning of her career, Joyce’s registered trademark has been the first-person feminine voice, which she pioneered; she was the first Brazilian female songwriter to express herself in this form, opening the way for countless other artists who followed.  Louis Matute  LOUIS MATUTE, recently awarded the 2022 "Evidence" prize by the Jazz Academy, is recognized as one of the most interesting Swiss jazz guitarists of the moment.
