Raivo Tafenau
Raivo Tafenau - one of the best sax players in Estonia has built up his reputation in Estonia, Finland and also Russia. He is a very accomplished saxophonist who has his own popular quintet recently featuring the wonderful vocals of Sergio Bastos from Brazil and Neda from Lithuania.

The album with the Quintet featuring Sergio Bastos the Brazillian singer is called "Ice on Ipanema". It contains a very dancy upbeat first track and some emotionally charged songs which fuse the warmth of Brazil vocal emotion with the coolest of saxophones from Estonia.
BurningCandle favourite is the 'hair on the back of the neck' Nuvens Gravidas.

Sergio Bastos, vocals
Petteri Hasa on drums (FI)

Mihkel Mälgand, bass (EST)
