A sophisticated double bill, exploring connections between the beguiling, fluid rhythms of Latin and West African jazz.
Lyrical accordionist Richard Galliano has taken the quintessential drama of tango and French chanson as the basis of his language, to create ravishing, electrifying music within his superlative quartet. Before him, singing in expressive Portuguese-based Creole, Carmen Souza illuminates, stretches, and snaps back the elastic connections between Latin, African and Arabic music, American jazz and the music of Cape Verde.
An evening of glowing, hot sounds, delivered with sexy elegance.
