Concert Caribbean Music / Latin American Music Brazilian multi-instrumentalist, Rodrigo Amarante is the genius behind the hypnotic Narcos’ opening song, “Tuyo” that enchanted millions across the world. Before becoming a household name with this haunting melody, Amarante collaborated with Devendra Barnhart and Tom Zé and received accolades with his bands Los Hermanos and Little Joy (with Stokes‘ band members Binki Shapiro and Fabrizio Moretti). His solo album Cavalo was a captivating mix of instrumental music and delicate singing.
