The amazing violinist Florian Cristea (Romania - based in São Paulo/Brazil), the great guitar players Richard Smith (England - based in Nashville/USA) and Bina Coquet (São Paulo/Brazil), and Nando Vicencio (bass) and José in the rhythm session (also from Brazil). Video by Rodrigo Kassab and Rodrigo Xavier (RR Produções). Recorded by Caio Miranda, mixed by José Fernando Seifarth.
