El prestigioso violinista, bandolinista, compositor e investigador musical (y también artista plástico) estadounidense Ted Falcon (Nueva York, 1970) se instaló en la ciudad de São Paulo en 2008 (en 2016 volvió a su país) y entre sus numerosas actividades, desarrolló un proyecto en formato de duo con el joven guitarrista Félix Junior (Pirapora, Minas Gerais, 1985) para interpretar, con frescura y dinamismo, composiciones propias sobre ritmos tradicionales brasileños como baião, xote, choro y frevo, cuyo resultado queda plasmado en este disco, que incluye tributos a Paco de Lucia y a la famosa serie de TV Breaking Bad.

"Ted Falcon is an American violinist, mandolinist and composer. Born in New York, Ted grew up in Allentown, Pennsylvania. He first started playing the piano at age five then switched to the violin when he was six. The son of a professional guitarist, Ted grew up listening to jazz and the Brazilian music of Villa-Lobos, Tom Jobim and Luiz Bonfá. He studied jazz at the University of Pittsburgh and later at Indiana University. Over the years, he has lived and worked as a professional musician in New York City, Los Angeles and São Paulo. For the past 5 years, he has lived in Brasília, the capital of Brazil.
Ted has written several books about Brazilian choro music for the Escola de Choro Raphael Rabello, (Clube do Choro) the nation’s most respected choro school. He performs regularly throughout Brazil with various music projects including Jambrosia, Trio Oblivion, Gypsy Jazz Club, Kervansarai, and the duo Ted and Pablo, with harmonica player Pablo Fagundes. He has performed with Hermeto Pascoal, Dominguinhos, Armandinho Macêdo, Hamilton de Holanda and many other incredible Brazilian musicians. In the U.S., he has performed along side of David Grisman and Mike Marshall and has recorded with Suzanne Vega and Ben E. King. Ted is one of the few innovators on the violin, an instrument rarely used in Brazilian popular music."

"Félix Júnior iniciou o aprendizado de violão aos 9 anos de idade com o seu pai, professor Félix, em Pirapora-MG, dando prosseguimento no conservatório Lorenzo Fernandes em Montes Claros. Mudou-se para São Paulo onde estudou Violão Clássico com o maestro e concertista Francisco Araújo. Ainda em São Paulo aperfeiçoou o cavaquinho com o professor Inácio de Oliveira, cavaquinista de 5 cordas.
Félix Júnior é um prodígio como compositor, tendo recebido prêmios. No Clube do Choro de Brasília, além de atuar como professor, tocou ao lado de Altamiro Carrilho, Joel Nascimento, Osvaldinho do Acordeom, Turíbio Santos, Jorge Cardoso, Gabriel Grossi, Rick Trolsen, Dirceu Leite e Domonguinhos, entre outros."
