Sail Joia

Seventies Latin jazz/pop group from Amsterdam who started out as house band for the clubs Kosmos and Melkweg. They only started to record music after the Portuguese brothers Antonio Lameirinhas and Fernando Lameirinhas joined after they moved there from Brussels. In 1980 the group disbanded and some of the members moved onto to Fernando's Ginga. In 1988 there was a short-lived reunion under the name Joia. Aliases: - Joia Members: - Alan "Gunga" Purves,
