“The toast of the Perth Jazz Scene. The release of Bossa Nova Baby has elevated her above a mere covers singer or bossa specialist. Rhythmically perfect and vocally passionate” The Australian
Award-winning singer-songwriter Juliana Areias,The Bossa Nova Baby, brings her authentic Brazilian style to this festive concert – blending iconic and contemporary MPB female vocalists and composers with timeless bossa nova classics – in anticipation of International Women’s Day and Harmony Week celebrations.
Expect favourites by masters such as Jobim, Milton Nascimento, Joao Donato, Elis Regina, Gal Costa, Rita Lee, Marina Lima, Maria Gadu, Ceu, Luedji Luna, Chiquinha Gonzaga, Leny Andrade, Rosa Passos and many more.
Juliana Areias has performed on major stages around the world, including the Sydney Opera House, the Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland, Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club in London, the Green Room in New York, and Rio’s legendary Beco das Garrafas – where bossa nova was born.
Her acclaimed original album Bossa Nova Baby won Best Brazilian Album at the US Focus Brazil Awards and reached the US Top 100 Jazz Charts. A five-time Western Australian Music Awards nominee, her music was considered “the changing face of Australian music” by ABC Radio National and praised as “excelling in elegance” by The Australian in its four-star review.
For this exclusive concert, Areias is excited to welcome award-winning guitarist Ridge Moss to share the stage with the beating heart of her dream band, joining Paul Millard (sax/flute), Bronton Ainsworth (drums), and Rafael Medeiros de Souza (percussion). Let’s sway and be spellbound by Juliana Areias and her Bossa Nova Baby Band!
