Suingue Brazuca — The Golden Years of Brazilian Music

Overview

Take a step back in time and be whisked away to the wonders of the 1960s Brazilian music scene, as Melbourne Recital Centre presents an exclusive evening of Suingue Brazuca — The Golden Years of Brazilian Music on Friday, August 11 at 7.30pm, at the renowned Elisabeth Murdoch Hall.

The 1960s witnessed the emergence of an illustrious musical epoch in Brazil, where the sounds of bossa nova and the rhythms of Sérgio Mendes and Brasil 66 took centre stage. But they were just one chapter of a rich musical story. During this showcase, uncover musical gems that are relatively unknown outside of the South American country. The event will feature a carefully curated selection of vibrant Brazilian songs that were originally performed by exceptional interpreters, including Elza Soares, Elizeth Cardoso, Elis Regina and Leny Andrade.

Leading this musical sojourn is the talented drummer Carlos Ferreira, whose innate rhythm and flair have been influenced by his upbringing in the heart of Rio during the 1960s. Accompanied by a talented ensemble of musicians, including Dany Maia on vocals, Lachlan Davidson on saxophone and flute, Rob Planck on trumpet, Adrian Sheriff on trombone, Steve Sedergreen on piano and Jorge Albuquerque on bass.

As part of the Season Three: Haven series at the Melbourne Recital Centre, this evening of Suingue Brazuca invites you to discover and embrace Brazilian musical legacy. Tickets for this showcase start at $45.
