RSVC is the first ever collaboration of two amazingly talented Brazilian guitarists, Rio de Janeiro based Ricardo Silveira and Brooklyn based Vinicius Cantuária, featured here in a series of duets. Recorded in Rio, and co produced by the players and Eduardo Chermont, RSVC features six original compositions and also features the vocals of Vinicius as well as the debut vocal performance by Ricardo, who is primarily known for his wonderful guitar skills. Singer, guitarist, composer, drummer, and percussionist, Vinicius Cantuária is a well-known Brazilian musician who moved to New York in the mid-90s. He has proved himself in a number of fields, directly or indirectly linked to Brazilian music as leader of the rock band O Terco and later as one of the most important downtown New York figures, collaborating with artists such as Brian Eno, Laurie Anderson, Brad Mehldau, Arto Lindsay, Bill Frisell, Marc Ribot, David Byrne and Ryuichi Sakamoto. For over thirty years, guitarist Ricardo Silveira has earned international acclaim by bridging the music of his native Brazil with contemporary American jazz. In constant demand as a studio musician and musical director, Silveira has collaborated with countless masters and is equally renowned as a composer and solo artist.

Bill Frisell's trajectory has spanned the paths of jazz and Americana, becoming one of the most respected guitarists in the business. A fine guitarist in his own right, but more noted for his heartthrob vocals, Brazilian singer-songwriter Vinicius Cantuaria has released a number of popular recordings and worked with names ranging from Marc Ribot to Ryuichie Sakamoto .

Influenced by New York City's diverse Spanish-speaking culture, the timing was right for Cantuária and Frisell, who had worked together in the past, to fully develop the project. Their unique hybrid, which includes improvisational music and songs with lyrics mixed in Portuguese, Spanish, and English, is at once intriguing, yet surprisingly mellow, in contrast to Cantuária's Horse and Fish (Bar None Records, 2004) and Frisell's The Intercontinentals (Nonesuch, 2003). But it's the artists' careful attention to detail—delicate layers of electronica juxtaposed with acoustic instruments and Cantuária's sultry incantations—that creates an affable listening experience.
