If you are not going to Brazil, Brazil is coming to you.
Being unique in many ways, this country has also got its own jazz style called bossa nova.
Originating from Rio de Janeiro in the mid-1950s, bossa nova sounds somewhat like samba but with less percussion and with an emphasis on guitar and piano.
Bossa nova will be brought to you by Filo Machado, who is as Brazilian as one can be.
He is known for taking part in recording a Grammy-winning concert – “40 years of bossa nova” – as well as playing together with Ray Charles, Nina Simone and Jon Hendricks.
During his concert in Kyiv, Machado will play a couple of acts with our Ukrainian contrabassist Ark Ovrutski.
Sunday, Nov. 28, 7 p.m., National Music Academy, 11 Khreshchatyk St. Tickets: Hr 100-250.
