Paying tribute to the famous 1966 concerts with singers ELIS REGINA and JAIR RODRIGUES at Paramount Theatre in Brazil.
About the artists
Brazilian Master Drummer CARLOS FERREIRA is one of Australia’s most exciting and innovative interpreters of Samba Jazz and Brazilian rhythms. Born and raised in Vila Isabel, Rio de Janeiro, he moved to Australia in 1985, founding MelSamba (Australia’s first Samba School), going on to train people of all ages both in Australia and around the world. Through his bands, including BrazJaz and Suingue Brazuca, he has introduced Samba Jazz (an unique genre of music created in Rio during the 60’s, spearheaded by saxophonist J.T. Meirelles) to musicians and audiences.
DANY MAIA, from Salvador da Bahia, brings the authentic sounds of Brazilian music to Australian audiences. A reflection of the cultural melting pot in which Dany was born and raised, her music merges the classic Bossa Nova, Jazz and Samba tunes. A multi-talented performer with an irrepressible stage presence, Dany Maia embodies the true spirit of Brazil.
Brazilian singer, actor and songwriter MARIO BRODER (ex-Farofa Carioca and Funk ‘N Lata) is from Rio de Janeiro. He has performed alongside the legendary Elza Soares, one of Brazil’s great singers and enraptured audiences with the beauty and warmth of his voice.
As an actor, Mario played the role of the great Wilson Baptista in the movie “Noel Rosa – O poeta da Vila” (Noel Rosa – The Village Poet), directed by Ricardo Van Steen.
About the concert
Carlos Ferreira’s SUINGUE BRAZUCA will be joined by an exceptional musical lineup at their Elisabeth Murdoch Hall performance to pay tribute to the famous 1966 concerts by legendary Brazilian singers ELIS REGINA and JAIR RODRIGUES at Paramount Theatre in Brazil,. The concerts, known as “DOIS NA BOSSA”, saw these two icons perform to an ecstatic local crowd, singing the works of great Brazilian composers with extraordinary power.
Recreating history, the performance will travel back to a time when beautiful music fed the souls of every Brazilian, and when Samba was, and still is, the quintessential way of life. A poetic, joyful and unforgettable experience, taking listeners on a journey to the heart of Brazil.
