IT WAS A SUNNY DAY IN MEXICO…
when Carlos Corona and Giovanna Piazza met, in 2009.
She heard him playing a Brazilian song on the guitar and started immediately to sing the second part of it.
Since then they have started building their own collage of jazzy Acapulco-Paris-dream music.
They have played in small venues, big theaters, beautiful festivals and crazy places also.
The result of it is a delicious vintage carrousel trip. Cheers!
