Nice Verdes, a two-piece act, originated from a chance encounter during a peace march in Vancouver, Canada back in 2003. Their musical style encompasses a diverse range of melodies drawn from both original compositions and traditional Latin American tunes. Opting for a nomadic lifestyle over conventional norms, the duo finds inspiration in the spirit of adventure that fuels their artistic journey.

Their music is characterized by infectious sunny melodies that evoke a sense of freshness and authenticity. Drawing on their experiences in various locations across Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Latin America, and Europe, Nice Verdes infuse their organic sounds with the essence of the places, people, and landscapes they encounter.

Through years of tireless touring, the pair has graced a multitude of venues, constantly refining their artistry. Immersing themselves in musical studies in countries like Cuba, Colombia, West Africa, and India, Nice Verdes absorb diverse influences, enriching their sound through collaborations with fellow musicians and the stories shared along their travels.
