MARIO BAKUNA BAND - EFG London Jazz Festival 2020

Details

Description

Collage Arts are pleased to be able to go ahead with our Lockdown EFG London Jazz Festival
2020 sessions. These have been important to the artists and audiences, many of whom
have not had regular gigs since March. We do not receive any funding for our jazz
programme and so hope that - if you can - you will make a donation, it will help us to keep
supporting these great musicians. Karamel, our venue in Wood Green will be open again in
Spring 2021 - with great food and of course great jazz. We look forward to seeing you then.
So, for now sit back and enjoy… Da Bossa Nova ao Samba Jazz with MARIO BAKUNA BAND.
The Mario Bakuna Band integrates the rhythmic roots of Brazilian music and its sophisticated
harmonies in a remarkable performance that celebrates some of the greatest Brazilian composers.
Samba jazz is a music language that emerged in Brazil, specifically in Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo,
which mixes elements of samba and bebop. Music that is a fusion between jazz and Brazil's
syncopated samba. With arrangements by Mario Bakuna, the band will play some original
compositions and re-read masters of samba jazz such as Emilio Santiago, Marcos Valle, Claudio
Bertrami, Rique Pantoja, Toninho Horta, Johnny Alf, Edu Lobo and the 'forrozeiro' Dominguinhos.
Featuring: Mario Bakuna (acoustic guitar, vocals), Sam Watts (piano), Matheus Nova (bass),
Marcinho Pereira (drums).
