If you love samba, bossa nova, or any other Brazilian music, you won’t want to miss this concert.
A powerhouse of Brazilian bossa nova jazz, guitarist Romero Lubambo and vocalist Claudia Villela are a virtuoso pair renowned his distinctive sound as the Segovia of Brazilian guitar and for her five-octave range and have been hailed as the biggest expression of Brazilian music in the United States today.
In 1985, Romero Lubambo came to the United States and brought with him a new sound in Brazilian jazz guitar. Romero’s guitar playing unites the styles and rhythms of his native Brazilian musical heritage with his fluency in the American jazz tradition to form a distinctive new sound. From the cool, sophisticated rhythms of his native Brazil to hard bop, Romero is a guitarist who’s comfortable in any musical setting. He is an uncommonly gifted soloist and musical improviser with a steady stream of unpredictably creative musical thoughts and the virtuosity to deliver them Lubambo is considered by critics to be “the best practitioner of his craft in the world today… the guitarist’s facility, creativity, and energy are in a class all their own.”...
