Brazilian songwriter and guitarist Márcio Faraco is an acoustic musician in the same mould as his great compatriots João Gilberto, Caetano Veloso, and Milton Nascimento.

Gifted like them with a gently sensuous voice and a fine poetic imagination, Faraco pens original pieces in a variety of Brazilian styles, from choro to samba and bossa nova. He performs on Sunday and Monday (November 15 and 16) in the cabaret-style setting of West Vancouver’s Kay Meek Studio Theatre, accompanied by Lionel Suarez on accordion, Gerson Saeki on bass, and Julio Gonçalves on percussion.
