When waves of swinging sounds wash over the romance of a hot, steamy night, the joy of love and music, and the sweetness of life, it’s easy to understand why bossa nova has enchanted and touched millions. Although the length of its reign at the top of music hits lists is a mere six years, that’s enough for the rhythm of Brazilian samba and jazz ingenuity to have conquered the world.
All unequivocal fans of bossa nova, these Lithuanian musicians, including charismatic singer Giedrė Kilčiauskienė, accompanied by rising young jazz stars, will reveal the beauty of simple, warm songs, comprising of mesmerising softness and the indescribable melancholy of the South, the spontaneity of jazz and harmony of the classics, of philosophical tranquility and powerful experiences…
Programme features compositions performed in a bossa nova style
