Expertise
I am able to answer mostly about some Portuguese-spoken countries` music, i.e., music from Brazil, Portugal and Cape Verde. I can also answer questions about World Music in general. Some of the groups and singers I can certainly talk about are Madredeus (Portugal), Dulce Pontes (Portugal), Cesaria Evora (Cape Verde) and Brazilian musicians, singers and bands in general. I have some knowledge about singers and bands from other countries as weel, especially Spanish-speaking groups and singers, and I can certainly recommend some of them according to the person`s interests.
Experience
I am an amateur singers and songwritter.
