Moises has 3 nominations to the Brazilian International Press Awards, in 2022 he scored the second place at the Cleveland Power of Sport Summit-Sport Song Competition during the All Star Games, In 2020 he was a finalist of the BDOLive Song Festival, a nationwide original music contest scoring the fourth place. 

Borges has performed at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Severance Hall and Cleveland's Play House Square. He often performs at area outdoor festivals and Jazz Clubs on a regular basis.

Since he moved to Cleveland in 1999 Moises, who is mixed with Brazilian Indigenous and African descendants, noticed among the local youth a lack of information on other cultures and their artistic expressions. Based on that feeling is why In 2018 he founded the ABCAI-Afro Brazilian Cultural Appreciation Initiative, a series of interactive educational experiences aimed at spreading awareness about Afro Brazilian culture and tradition in schools, communities and public events throughout Northeast Ohio.

In 2019 with a grant from the Cleveland Foundation through Food Strong, Moises did his first ABCAI Afro Brazilian Culture
Appreciation Initiative - High school presentation in East Cleveland at Iowa Maple Elementary School.

In 2020 His experience with the Karamu House Residency’s Discussion Panels was very rewarding, as it helped to inform all about the richness of Afro-Brazilian culture online through Zoom, showing discussion panels on Capoeira, samba dancing, Orishas, percussion and culinary. 

Also in 2020 Moises created the event “For the love of Art and Dance” an exhibition of visual art and music from the heart of Cleveland’s dancing community at the Negative Space Art Gallery, featuring live painting of movements of dancers, at the same time featuring the art done by local visual artists from the dancing community itself. In the same year he did two radio talks at NPR IdeaStream and two TV shows in Cleveland. 

In 2020 and 2021 during the pandemics Moises did three public fundraisers with matching funds from CAC through IOBY, reaching the goals before the event’s day. Those fundraisers were for financial help to the Side Musician, the one who cannot play a gig alone, like a drummer or horn player. He thought they needed financial help and the community agreed, it was done as a drive-in-concert in a big church parking lot in Shaker Hts, the First Unitarian Universalist Church of Cleveland.

Also in 2020 and 2021 throughout the summer days, Moises did a series of “Front Lawn Concerts” for free in the neighborhoods, bringing live music to the people and performing about 70 concerts outside in each year. He thought that with the closure of all stages of the city as a consequence of the pandemics, all the houses' front lawns became a potential performing area. With all the musicians in town available, jobless, and the audience already at home in lockdown, the “Front Lawn Concerts” project was a great success. 

In 2021 with a grant from CAC through Julia De Burgos, Moises laid around 2 miles of optical fiber through the jungle in order to feed internet to the top of a mountain, he interviewed his mother’s indigenous ethnicity community in Brazil through Zoom, showing the local participants their lifestyle in the woods, with Q&A in all four interviews. This was done for the Hispanic Heritage Month, with focus on sustainability, herbal medicine, cultural dances, rituals, hunting techniques, culinary and body painting.
The potential of inspiration and creativity from the Pataxó's indigenous ethnicity’s colorful culture where his mom is from is vast, and for him it is worth it to share with the community. Participants in the proposed Zoom panel could easily absorb, reinvent or rework the artistic expressions that  they were exposed to and they now have the cultural knowledge behind the art. This entertaining panel certainly helped to promote social, political and cultural responsiveness. 

Indigenous people from anywhere in the Americas are an integral part of the Latino’s cultural and biological background. As Puertorican and Mexican ancestries are more known to the Latino community in Cuyahoga County, bringing this project to life helped to foster cultural pride and art appreciation, it also served the Latino youth and their families by building a bridge to decrease the imbalance of knowledge in between the Latino ethnicities by showing the Brazilian side of it, it helped them to be acquainted with its South American ancestries, at the same time it exposed our local community to a different, lesser know Latin American culture, it helped people to see a common experience of all Latino people to have indigenous ancestry, it helped to promote a broader understanding of Latino culture and show more diversity, it helped to inspire the youth to awaken critical thinking to preserve, educate and promote the Latino heritage.

Being an enthusiastic sharer of his Afro/Indigenous/Brazilian culture, Moises is a Clevelander eager to continuously aim to broaden the audience to his culture and music, to write and perform live music, to share the power of music to create community in a multicultural context, to educate about Brazilian culture in schools and to help the community to appreciate it.
