Currently a local presence in the New Orleans music scene, Geovane Santos, a native Brazilian from the city of Belo Horizonte, is a guitarist, composer, arranger, vocalist, educator, and awardee of the 2017 Louis Armstrong Foundation Jazz Composer Award through ASCAP in association with the University of New Orleans (UNO). Having his guitar and his voice as bridges to bring Brazilian music to American audiences, Santos’ repertoire is filled with less known selections as well as innovative arrangements of old standards taking a new approach to Brazilian music fusing it with Bebop improvisation, New Orleans funk, West African rhythms and Caribbean beats.
