With the idea to value the essence and the richness of brazilian music, preserving its roots, but searching for new sounds, her contact with Cuba was essential. She met the trompest Julio Padrón and invited him for an original version of Canto de Ossanha (Baden Powell and Vinícius de Moraes) and also the pianist Yaniel Matos for the song Xangô te Xinga. Both are very repected musitions in Cuba. Julio Padrón appears in Wim Wenders DVD, The Song of Cuba – The New Generation.
