The duo

Two instruments, one conversation

Mari Kerber and Ale Ravanello met in 2014 while studying Popular Music at UFRGS, the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul. Her piano and his harmonica soon found a shared language: blues and jazz, played with lightness, improvisation and swing.

Since then the duo has played festivals, theaters and hundreds of events. The repertoire runs from the great blues and jazz classics to international rock and pop, always tuned to the moment: a ceremony asks for one thing, a dinner for another, the party for more.

For your event

Music that follows the moment

Weddings

From the ceremony to dinner, with a setlist chosen with the couple: jazz standards, blues and pop classics arranged for piano and harmonica.

Corporate events

A striking presence that never gets in the way of conversation. Past events include South Summit Brazil and Instituto Ling.

Wineries, hotels and dining

An intimate acoustic format for tastings, launches and special evenings. Clients include Miolo Wine Group.

Festivals and venues

The duo’s original show, featured at the Mississippi Delta Blues Festival and Gramado Jazz & Blues.

Formats

From intimate dinners to the main stage

01

Duo

Piano, harmonica and vocals

The most versatile format. It fits a small room, a garden or a festival stage, with a compact setup and quick load-in.
02

Trio

Duo + drums

More pulse and more swing for parties, dance floors and larger venues.

“With different blues moods, from festive to romantic, they show chemistry, strength and originality.”

Juarez Fonseca, Zero Hora, on the album So Many Stories to Tell
