Ars Domini is a Soulful House project by vocalist Ricardo Cassal, pianist Andre Andreo and DJ Galuco Antonioli. They express their art by mixing various elements of Soul, Lounge, Brazilian and Rock n Roll music.
Together they have made a debut on Grooveland Music with ‘Take It Back’, a catchy feel good Latin fused Soulful House with warm keys, sunshine beats and smooth vocals. They have also enlisted remixes from fellow Brazilian artist.
