From swinging sambas and sizzling salsa to soothing bossa novas and romantic ballads, Nuevo Mundo plays traditional music from Brazil and Cuba , seasoned with a jazz flavor. They feature the vocals of guitarist Kay Peper who sings in Portuguese, English, and Spanish, teamed with latin-jazz keyboardist Beth Lederman, and some of Phoenix’s finest musicians backing them up. Nuevo Mundo merges contemporary elements of jazz and fusion with Brazilian standards and pop music.
