The Smoky Caipirinhas | Bossa Nova & Swing

New duo The Smoky Caipirinhas (“Ky-peer-een-yas”) blends the disparate musicalities of a Brazilian percussionist and a British-American singer/pianist. Imagine Brazil’s piquant signature cocktail tinged with the smoky flavors of yesteryear’s jazz… seamless vocals and harmonies punctuated by playful and imaginative percussion. TSC brings reinterpretations of bossa nova classics, and American standards with a vaudeville flair…a dash of the international songbook, and the mixology is complete!

Alex Frederick is a versatile, engaging singing pianist who has performed internationally and on cruise ships. Catch her Wed. Happy Hour @ Don’t Tell Mama Piano Bar, New York City.

Leo Guerra is a charismatic percussionist (washboard/cajon), who’s performed w/trad. jazz, blues, Brazilian jazz and bossa bands/artists in Brazil and US, and recorded with the renowned Mississippi Devils in Brazil.
