COUPLE COFFEE & BAND

Couple Coffee was born as a Vocals + Bass Duo: a minimalist ensemble based on the experience, technical skils and creativity of Norton Daiello at the electric bass, for support of the charismatic voice of Luanda Cozetti.
The talent of these Brazil born musicians became well known when the first CD “Puro” was released in 2005. The recordings began in Rio de Janeiro and were finished in Lisbon, where to the duo moved on to live. Their work was right away fulfilled with the collaboration of some of the best and well known Portuguese artists and musicians – JP Simoes, Sergio Costa, Jorge Palma, Vitorino and Gabriel Gomes (Madredeus). “Puro” was very acclaimed by the critics and the public, and the 1st edition was quickly sold out.
In April 2007 the band releases their 2nd work - “Co’as Tamanquinhas do Zeca” - based on the work of Jose Afonso, the most respected songwriter and composer of modern times in Portugal. For this work the Duo became a Quartet – adding electric guitar (Sergio Zurawsky) and percussions (Ruca Rebordao) - and the name was increased to Couple Coffee and Band. In this work the band skills and creativity are shown in the fantastic way they achieve of combining the traditional roots of Iberia and Portugal from Jose Afonso with the freshness and swing of the other side of Atlantic sea.
During March 2008 the Couple coffee and Band recorded a Live album during a 2 nights concert at the Musicbox, in Lisbon. This new CD - “Young and Fresh” - commemorates 50 years of Bossanova through 18 classical themes, where the the non-conventional arrangements are the best business card of this creative and multi-skills band. With the release of this this 3rd CD (during May 2008) the Couple Coffee consolidates their style and begin a new tour in Portugal and abroad.
