In Northern Brazil, a natural phenomenon occurs called “Encontro das Águas” translating to “The Meeting of Waters”. Two distinctly different rivers meet and flow side by side, unmixed for miles, before heading toward the ocean as one. Caio e Jess strive to embody this philosophy. Caio Afiune, born in São Paulo, Brazil, and Jessica Curran in Boston, USA, uniquely blend their backgrounds in Brazilian Music, Pop, and Jazz to create organic and lush compositions. With awards such as the ASCAP Young Composers Award and John Lennon Songwriting Contest under their belts, the two provide an honest, intimate show of virtuosic electricity with either full band or duo. Currently, the two are gearing up to release their debut full-length album, “Encontro das Aguas”, featuring some of the finest musicians from around the globe including guests such as Laura Perrudin, Raphael Barata, Henrique Eisenmann, and Marrisol Mwaba.
