Virtuoso Brazilian violinist, Sergio Ferraz, has been actively performing as a violinist and composer ever since the early 1990s. In the early 1980s, Ferraz began studying classical violin. He was very influenced by violinists such as Jean-Luc Ponty and L. Shankar, as well as jazz-rock bands of the 1970s and progressive rock bands. In his compositions, we find a strong influence of Indian music, jazz-rock, and Brazilian rhythms such as maracatu, among others. Sergio Ferraz has released four CDs: Segundo Romançário (2010), Sonoris Fábrica (2011), Dancing at the Feet of Shiva (2012), and The Sublime Science and The Sovereign Secret (2013).
