For this edition of Live at Our Place, we present an evening of spiced-up jazz by Chai Masters and CHOCOS. And, only this time, we are starting earlier to gather for a free chai tea tasting, to which the musicians will also participate. We invite you to put your phone in plane mode, get a cup of the best chai tea in town, and let the caffein do its job: to stimulate enriching real life conversations. Then we will be ready for some great music!Chai Masters’ original compositions are inspired by the blurriness between reality and fantasy of Magic Realism. Combining rhythms with evocative melodies, they will showcase a repertoire that intermingles flamenco, film soundtracks and improvisation.
With another jazzy favour, CHOCOS approaches music from a place of love and discovery, seamlessly moving through different genres and combining the energy of Rock, the grooves of Indie, and the liberty of jazz. Prepare yourself for a raw and exciting performance, driven by interaction, self-expression and a healthy dose of Portuguese charm.

We invite you to our place, grab a drink, sit on the couch (or dance!), and enjoy the tunes that our talented community is working on during their stay at Treehouse NDSM.
