Fernando Machado
Lambrego, an Anglo-Brazilian songwriting project formed of Fernando Machado (Guitar & Vocals) and Hannah Dunster (Flute & Vocals), is a unification of two distinctive cultures, mixing polyphonic melodies, rhythmic harmony and evocative poetry.
“With poetic, thoughtful lyrics, touches of Bossa Nova and Samba in all its forms, and a glorious blending of voices, flute, guitar and cavaquinho conspiring to create seductive melodies, Lambrego are a magnificent new addition to London’s music scene.”
