Direct from Brazil!
PAULA SANTORO
Brazilian Paula Santoro returns to Portland! Paula Santoro will perform with Latin Grammy nominated pianist Jasnam Daya Singh (aka, Weber Iago). Santoro will sing pieces from her various albums including works by composers Tom Jobim, Baden Powell, Milton Nascimento, and Ian Faquini.

Paula Santoro is one of the great voices in the current Brazilian jazz scene...she combines samba and bossa nova with jazz and folk music elements..."
-World Music Central

"Santoro doesnt yet have the profile of Bebel Gilberto or Cibelle, but shed certainly impress the millions whove bought their albums youll also hear touches of Portuguese fado, flamenco or even some of more stately Cuban folk forms. John Lewis (Time Out" London)

JASNAM DAYA SINGH (WEBER IAGO)
The erudite, Latin-grammy-nominated pianist Jasnam Daya Singh will be special guest. Jasnam has been described as an "artist of rare and insightful genius...who communicates the nuanced delicacy of tone and texture; vivid colour and subtle shade..."

Portland ensemble CHORO DA ALEGRIA will open the show playing Choro music of Brazil (Mandolin, 7 String Guitar, and Pandeiro).
