Celebrated Brazilian artist Luedji Luna’s debut appearance in Toronto, with opening set by Luanda Jones Trio- June 30th.
Brazilian singer-songwriter Luedji Luna’s music surveys and celebrates the connections between her home country and her African roots, and addresses the many ways in which Afro-Brazilians and women are marginalized in Brazil and beyond. Along the way, she presides over a sound as expansive as the distances it embodies, as Afro-Brazilian rhythms and other traditional sounds meld with familiar strains of R&B, jazz, and electronic beats.
Opening set by Toronto’s Luanda Jones trio ( Zicaman Silva on Bass / Dijerdan Gomes on Percussion)
After releasing our long-awaited debut CD, A New Day at the Lula Lounge, we’ll be playing again at the TD Jazz Festival on June 24th. We will be playing the music from the album- which consists of original songs in the MPB (Music Popular Brasileira) tradition by Luanda Jones and Gord Sheard, as well as a couple of A. C. Jobim classics that we’ve sinalabertoized.
Produced in partnership with honorary Brazilian, Alan Hetherington, this event will be very special!: One Great Big Brazilian Party, on stage and in the street! Artists from different corners of one of the world’s richest musical centres together, and some very special musical surprises!
If you like Brazilian music and you like a summer party, you won’t want to miss this one!
