Rackham Auditorium
I am sure you are in the mood for some jazz with the weather being so crappy. Tonight, we have the charming Louciana Souza thrilling us with some amazing jazz! Brazilian singer Louciana Souza hails from a family of bossa nova exponents (remember Gal Costa?) and is known for her smooth and melodious voice. Her latest recording Tide was nominated for the 2010 Grammy in the Best Vocal Jazz category.
What sets her music apart is the innovation and creativity which takes the old and gives it a totally different touch while maintaining its integrity. She has a solid base in jazz and her interpretations are well-known. Her recording, The New Bossa Nova, got a lot of critical acclaim.
I love this genre of Latin Jazz as it somehow wraps melancholy and joy and establishes an unique equilibrium between the two states, not choosing one over the other. Also, the setting is so personal and it feels as if it is all being performed only for you.
Tonight, Ms. Souza will be accompanied by Mr.Romero Lubambo who was here last fall with Ms. Costa . Mr. Lumbambo is one of the best guitarists in his genre and I totally look forward to his strumming. And we have the amazing Brazilian percussionist Cyro Baptista too (he is another brilliant performer).
Tickets for this must-see show is at the Michigan League ticket Office or at the box office before the show.
What can be more beautiful than a snowy evening with soul touching music? Come away with me to Rackham tonight!
Yours truly,
Krithika, for art[seen]
