About Vendor 

Learn more about this vendor for your event.

Michele Ramo World Jazz Group/Ensemble can be featured from Solo 8 String Guitar, Voice & Guitar DUO, Trio, Quartet & up to 7 Piece Group. Fusing elements of Traditional Jazz, Afro-Brasilian Samba, Cuban Montuno, Bossa Nova and Jazz with some of the top notch musicians of Detroit Music City… The group leaders are Italian born multi-instrumentalist Michele Ramo winner of the 2013 Detroit Music Awards for World Jazz Artist/Group, and former Miss Michigan singer Heidi Hepler. "Hepler uses her unique voice as an instrument - from sounding like velvet to that of a violin, a melodious panflute and the coloratura of Mozart's' 'Queen of the Night'." - Rhein Nahe Zeitung - Germany The duo of singer Heidi Hepler and guitarist Michéle Ramo perform virtuoso wonders on Felicitá, an album of original compositions by Ramo set to lyrics by Hepler. It is hard to characterize this recital, which blends southern European and American motifs with jazz and cabaret spices, performed with amazing musicianship. Hepler has an immediately recognizable voice, for she sounds like no one else, and while she would undoubtedly list numerous influences, they have been absorbed and blended into a truly personal style. She has operatic chops and dead-on pitch, without which the blend that she achieves with Ramo would not be possible, and her lively romantic personality comes out in every song. This exuberance is matched perfectly by Michele's amazing nylon string guitar playing, which takes the place of a full orchestra, providing unison or harmony lines, chords, and walking bass lines all at the same time. He has taken the styles of Baden Powell and Charlie Byrd to another level, and developed a technically dazzling, exciting style that is amazingly original, incorporating a broad range of guitar styles, invoking Gypsy caravans, Sicily, Andalusia, Brazil, Harlem and many points in between.
