Two leading Brazilian instrumentalists, Marco Pereira and Toninho Ferragutti are set to perform on August 29, 2014 at MIMO Festival 2014 in Ouro Preto at Igreja Na Sa Do Carmo at 20:00 (8:00 pm).
Marco Pereira is one of the main icons of Brazilian guitar. He will join talented accordionist Toninho Ferragutti for this concert.

Being both composers and inventive musical arrangers, they also have in common invitations for renowned international festivals and performances as sidemen to big names of Brazilian music like Dominguinhos, Marisa Monte, Gal Costa, Edu Lobo, Sivuca, Paulinho da Viola and Antonio Nóbrega.
