They whisper to your ear like a soft breeze... Alejandra's voice plays with the sound of Yuiko's piano, and at times it gives the impression that the piano is also singing.

"The music on Two is a lovely collaboration from two women, Yuiko Goto from Japan and Alejandra Ortiz from Columbia. These ladies found a beautiful passive style that carries on from one tune to the next. There is a light transparent quality to Alejandra's singing and the rolling piano style of Yuiko is matched to it."
-Jamey Haddad (Simon and Garfunkel, Carly Simon)
Pianist Yuiko Goto and vocalist/percussionist Alejandra Ortiz demonstrate how two musicians with different backgrounds can unite to form an extraordinary musical connection. On their first recorded collaboration "Two", Goto and Ortiz perfectly complement each other's melodic and rhythmic sensibilities. Goto provides rich harmonic beds for Ortiz's lush voice and Ortiz's phrasing inspires Goto's improvised embellishments around the melodies. The catalyst for the musical synergy on Two is the eclectic compositions. Goto's stylistically anomalous songs fuse elements from a variety of genres: the motific development of classical music, the interaction of jazz and the rhythms of Brazilian music. On this impressive debut, Goto and Oritz tell a story through music instead of words, and invite the listener to hear an intimate conversation in the language of music.
