This latin jazz and fusion band from The Netherlands (Holland) existed from 1980 until 2000. Jazz singer Josee Koning together with keyboard player Peter Schön started off a band who played Brazilian music. They were very successful as a live band in the eighties and nineties. In different formations they made only 3 albums and a DVD capturing a reunion concert in 2006.
This is the first album.

Remember Rob Franken, who started out in the beyond brilliant Scope? (Though he only joined them after their first album.) If you look at his page, it's shocking how many bands he played in, so this is a later one. The music is squarely as they say Latin, Brazilian, samba, etc., with vocals.
The immortal composition Vera Cruz which as you know is a Milton Nascimento composition:
