During the tour a new album will be released. The album conveys the magic shared by these musicians as they traversed cultural boundaries on a journey into music.

The initiative came originally from Magno Bissoli, who by this project fullfilled a long-term dream of gathering Danish based musicians and Brazilian musicians from his big network of excellent artist from both worlds. With help from Ib Jensen, the tour manager of the Swinging Europe - the European Youth Jazz Orchestra and Lars Thorborg from the Copenhagen Jazz House he succeded to establish this new great adventure.
