World music at its best, ViBO Simfani bridges cultures from around the globe by fusing elements of latin jazz, folk, classical, Brazilian styles such as Bossa Nova and Choro. The end result is romantic, fun and mystical all at once. With the impeccable performance and arrangements of strings, woodwinds, guitar and percussion, ViBO Simfani reinterprets the traditional repertoire with an original sound.

ViBO Simfani was founded in early 2010 by the violinist Victor Lin and the cellist Pawel Walerowski, with a simple purpose of playing Brazilian choro music for fun. They invited Theresa Calpotura and Mike Masuda to join the group and performed as a quartet for the first time, at the ViBO Family Music Camp in Petaluma in the summer of 2010. Even since then, the group keeps expanding their repertoire to be more culturally diverse. ViBO Simfani spent a big part of 2011 recording their self-titled debut album, which was released in Feb. 2012. The group then performed a series of concerts in San Francisco, Walnut Creek, Martinez, San Bruno, Berkeley and Oakland. Ever since then, ViBO Simfani performs actively for festivals, weddings, corporate events and schools.

In 2015, ViBO Simfani was invited by VH1 Save the Music Foundation to perform a benefit concert to raise fund for music education. The concert was a big success, presented by the World Music Club of City College of San Francisco. The same year, ViBO Simfani was selected to perform a show for San Bruno Concert in the Park and Colma Town Picnic.

ViBO Simfani is looking forward to performing at the San Francisco International Art Festival in June 2016.
