About / Biography

FERNANDO GONZALEZ, (Latin percussions, flutes and vocals) born and raised in Mexico City, son of the well-known pianist and arranger Luis Gonzalez Perez, has lived between Rimini and Mexico for more than twenty years now. At a very young age, in 1975 he began playing percussions, kena and other Andean flutes, embarking on a professional career with famous groups and artists in Latin America and United States. Since 1983 he has been traveling around the world playing on Costa, Holland America, NCL, Cunard, Oceania, Princess, Regent Seven Seas, P&O cruise ships with the band "Yalba", still active, and in 1991 he was hired by "Damaso Perez Prado" Orchestra, with whom he took part in many tours in Japan.

NESTOR BOHER, (Piano, keyboards and vocals) born in Cordoba, Argentina, he began his piano studies at the age of 6 and at 13 he began playing the most varied genres in groups, such as the Villa Allende Chamber Orchestra, up to delve into Greek, Arabic and Middle Eastern music when playing for a long time at Mikis Theodorakis Cantina Griega in Cordoba. He actively collaborates with the Center for Musical Investigations and Acoustic Experiments, composing works performed in theaters, movies and TV series.

DOS AL CUADRADO: Both arrived in Italy and Republic of San Marino at the end of the 90`s, they met while playing in several Latin bands of the Adriatic Coast (Caiman, Del Barrio…) and teaching in the same music school in Rimini ( “Il Bastimento APS”). After many years performing, at the end of 2022 they finally decided to match their skills in a unique blend of Latin - Mediterranean rhythms and sounds, all seasoned with their distinctive sense of humor. From their colorful background, they propose a repertoire of Argentine tango, Mexican bolero, also crossing Brazil, without disdaining a highly original reinterpretation of Romagna folk, great soundtracks, Celtic and oriental dances, such as from Greece, Turkey, Armenia up to Japan.
