The duo is formed by Gilberto Bueno (Guitar /Voice) and Renata Bacal (Voice/ Percussion/Guitar) and has first performed together in 2010, when they have worked for 6 months on holiday resorts around the island of Ibiza, Spain. For the next year and a half, they worked for the same company, Thomson/Tui in Lanzarote in Spain and Greece.
After that, the duo went on to work on cruise ships. It would not be the first time for them since Gilberto used to work as a stage manager/audio engineer and Renata as a musical theatre singer/dancer, performing on Broadway and West End shows at sea.
Their first cruise job as a duo was for P&O cruise line, where they have worked for 7 months. After another quick stop in Greece, an invitation to move to another ship, sailing the Mediterranean came in. The ship was the Island Escape, a Royal Caribbean associated company. They have there, performed for 4 months.
They were then contacted by a different agency, which invited the duo to work in one of the biggest ships in the world, the Norwegian Epic.
In 2014 they have again worked for Thomson in Mallorca, Spain.
The duo is very versatile; with a repertoire ranging from the 50's to date with over 290 songs, including all kinds of styles. They perform with quality backing tracks produced by themselves, and acoustic, always adapting to the kind of venue and atmosphere.
Both members speak fluent Portuguese, as native language, English, Spanish, and basic Italian, which helps on interacting/engaging with the audience, which they consider to be of great importance during a performance.
Very energetic and enthusiastic duo which will certainly get everyone spirits high.
