Cherry Bossa
Bossa Nova Brazilian Jazz Duo
featuring Gina Knight and Alfix Cioni
Relax, bask on the sundrenched shores of Rio de Janeiro, the City of Light, and enjoy the lush, warm tones of Gina Knight's vocals and the complex harmonics of Alfix's classical guitar as they embark on a musical voyage back in time. Perth's hottest upcoming Brazilian jazz duo perform Bossa Nova for your pleasure.
Knight and Alfix perform mesmerizing Bossa tunes crafted to lull you back into the ambience of Brazil in the late 50s and early 60s. The duo presents classics such as the Girl from Ipanema, the hauntingly beautiful Manha de Carnival (from the movie Black Orpheus), Agua de Beber and other luscious tracks made famous by the likes of Antonio Carlos Jobim, Vinicius de Moraes and Joao Gilberto. Also featuring new treatments of contemporary classics that have been 'bossarised', this duo is not to be missed. A mixture of the sensuous Portugese language and English is used in the delivery of the pieces which adds to the authentic flavour and colour palette of Brazil.
The duo can also be extended to a trio, four or five piece line-up - accompanied by keys, bass, brass, percussion.
