Sei Miguel

Director, arranger and trumpeter, Sei Miguel considers himself a simple jazzman, which, he says, isn't always easy. Born in 1961, Paris, lived in Brazil and France until settling down in Portugal during the 1980s. Since 1986 he has been directing formations of variable geometry. Having performed in Portugal, Germany, Italy, UK and Brazil, among his many regular collaborators are guitarists Rafael Toral and Manuel Mota, trombone player Fala Mariam and percussionist César Burago. Miguel has also written music for theater and ballet.
