3 singer-songwriters from 3 different countries; 3 voices singing in 3 different languages; 3 cultures meeting in one single stage, in one single show, blending in perfect harmony without loosing each one his own identity. Riccardo Perotti (Ecuador), ALBERTO CALERIS (Argentina) and ALOIS C. BRAUN (Germany) have been playing throughout Europe since 2007, captivating crowds of all ages and backgrounds. The show begins with the 3 artists singing a capella, in 3 part harmony, the intro to Alois Braun's song "La Paz".
It then moves into solo performances as Alberto, Alois and Riccardo bring to the stage their own offering of songs for the evening.The second set moves through arrangements of the group singing and performing each other's songs. Bavarian is mixed with Spanish and English, and the rhythm starts to increase as songs invite the people to participate more and more. By the end of the show, these 3 cultures, these 3 artists and their audience, have become one.
Riccardo Perotti is one of the most successful contemporary artists of Ecuador, where he's been over 57 weeks in the #1 position in national radio rankings since his debut hit song released in 1990. He blends his pop artist career with other passions such as film music, ethnic music projects and the writing and producing some of the City of Quito's most ambitious artistic montages. He was appointed to write and perform the Official Song for Miss Universe 2004 pageant, "País Acuarela", which he proudly performs in most of his concerts.
Alberto Caleris blends his Urban song-writing with rhythms and colors from the Afro Cultures of the South Pacific Coast, borrowing from their dances and their rituals to create a unique style for his music. Alberto has performed in the Cervantino Festival of Mexico, the Viña del Mar Festival of Chile and numerous Ethnic and World Music Festivals throughout the World, written music for - and performed with - important Popular Theatre companies in Latin America and recorded 9 CDs and 4 LPs , including one with the famed Grupo Moncada from Cuba.
Alois C. Braun was born in Regensburg, Germany, and led a number of regional bands and projects before starting his own solo career as a singer songwriter. He has produced and released 4 CDs of his original music, which is a blend of acoustic rock and folk, sung mainly in Bavarian dialect, with occasional German, Spanish or English phrases and colors. A constant thirst for other cultures has taken him to many travels through Iran, Iraq, Syria, Mexico, India, Vietnam, Guatemala, Cambodia, China, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Peru and Ecuador.

This past October, the 3 Songwriters met in the City of Miami and decided to go into Equinox Studios to do some live recordings, trying to capture a little of what happens on stage when these 3 friends meet for a typical PEROTTI-CALERIS-BRAUN recital.
Although the live audience - and its inevitable dancing - is missing, the mixture of the 3 different cultures, languages, geographies and tastes comes forth as a sound that is all of them and none of them at the same time.
The result of these recordings can now be heard in the player on the left. If you'd like hear their individual recordings, please access each Songwriter's Website using the links below.
