Fernanda Cunha AND Reg Schwager
Brought up in a rich musical environment in Rio de Janeiro, Brasil, singer Fernanda Cunha began her career in 1997 and has since toured Brazil, Europe and North America, performing at prestigious international jazz festivals.

Reg Schwager is a Toronto jazz guitarist . Born in the Netherlands, Schwager is known as one of Canada’s leading jazz guitarists. Reg has toured extensively across Canada and worldwide with George Shearing, Diana Krall, Peter Appleyard, Rob McConnell and many others.

They are working on a new CD, and for the first time an album with all songs written by Reg Schwager and lyrics by Fernanda.
