If you’re tired of the same ol’ same ol’, get a taste of something fresh and new with this Brazilian bossa nova concert to be held at the Sejong Center in Seoul.
Sponsored by the Brazilian Embassy in Seoul, this will be Brazilian bossa nova singer Bebel Gilberto’s first concert in Korea. She may be familiar as the daughter of Joao Gilberto, one of the pioneers of the bossa nova movement in Brazil, and Miucha, a vocalist.
At the age of 9, Bebel had already performed at Carnegie Hall and throughout Brazil, through which she gained wide recognition. In 1991, she moved to New York, where she worked with artists like Caetano Veloso, Towa Tei, and Thievery Corporation. Later, she moved to London to vary her repertoire. Her diverse musical interests can be seen in her albums, which incorporate styles including samba, bossa sova, MPB (musica popular brasileira), and jazz.
This is a chance for the residents of South Korea to listen to contemporary Brazilian music at its finest.
