Biography:

Admittedly, when it comes to Brazilian jazz, the harmonica isn't the first instrument to spring to mind. Somehow, brazil's curious blending of the diverse African, European, Japanese and American cultures which brought it the guitar, bandolim, cavaquinho, accordian, piano and a host of percussion instruments, couldn't find room for the harmonica and that's why the world needs Hendrik Meurkens.
