Grupo Bossa play 'Insensitez' at Regent Jazz. July 2024

Grupo Bossa playing AC Jobim's 'Insensitez' ('How Insensitive') at Regent Jazz, Leicester. Tuesday July 2nd, 2024.
Grupo Bossa! is an exciting new jazz ensemble specialising in the subtle and emotive music that is bossa nova.
Featuring the vocal talents of Portugal’s Carmelia Mar, backed by ensembles including Porto’s own maestro of jazz, Fino Lopes (guitar/bass), Midlands-based World music percussionist, Lee Boyd Allatson (drums), Leeds Jazz alumni, Ryan West (tenor) and the Leicestershire jazz scene’s go-to pianist, Peter Houtman.
The bossa nova (or ‘new trend’) is a relaxed style of samba which was first seen in the late 1950’s and early 1960’s in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The music’s rhythms are simplifications of those found in samba, with song emphasis placed on lyrics, harmony and less conventional chords.
Grupo Bossa! will showcase traditional songs by the likes of Consuelo Velázquez, Osvaldo Farrés and of course, the ‘father of bossa nova’, Antonio Carlos Jobim, as well as the infectious rhythms of bolero and samba. The band will also perform Latin American reworks of some jazz standards and pop tunes, as well as the Portuguese folk style of ‘Fado’: a traditional music unique to the Iberian peninsula, with melodies which echo the Moorish history of the region.
