The concert ‘Female Voices of Brazil’ highlights the talent and charisma of some of the most influential female singers in Brazil. The Brazilian music scene flourished between the 1930s and 1980s; many musical styles and rhythms were born, different vocal styles emerged, and jazz and popular music influences infused the existing styles. From the 1930s ‘Radio Era’ to the birth of Bossa Nova and Brazilian Jazz, singers such as Elis Regina, Elizete Cardoso, Dalva de Oliveira, Alaide Costa, Joyce, and Clara Nunes became known in Brazil and around the world for the beauty and sensitivity of their performances. Featuring the signature songs of the most prominent female Brazilian singers, Andria Antoniou and Mario Bakuna invite their audience on a journey to Brazilian music!
