Ceci y Pronto Alivio brings all-original music by local artist and educator Ceci, blending Colombian rhythms and Spanish lyrics with North American indie folk. Expect sister harmonies, audience sing-alongs, and love letters to nature, healing, and the friction of living and loving — her sound has been described as "audio sunset."  The band features Ceci (vocals, cello, keys, guitar), Marko Capoferri (bass, synth), Matthew Nord (percussion, keys), and Callie Woodman (backing vocals).

Then, Canta Brasil lights up the stage with the vibrant music of Brazil — from romantic bossa nova to fiery samba and beyond. Led by vocalist Magda Chaney (vocals), and featuring Beth Lo (bass), David Horgan (guitar), Ed Stalling(percussion), Naomi Moon Siegel (trombone), and Graeme Pletscher (saxophone), the group's sizzling horns and infectious grooves capture the joyful spirit of Carnaval.
