Felix Serrano, a skilled guitarist born in Spain and raised in Brazil, weaves a musical tapestry that blends Bossa Nova, Blues and Jazz. His musical journey began with the soulful sounds of Bossa Nova, influenced by the rhythmic syncopation of samba and the complex harmonies of jazz. His fingers dance across the fretboard, conjuring melodies that echo warm tropical breezes
