Coffee Concert: Mario Bakuna – Where Rio De Janeiro Meets Bahia

Enjoy a musical cup of coffee as Mario Bakuna (guitar and vocals) and Tristan Banks (drums/percussion) present the repertoire of the album Where Rio de Janeiro Meets Bahia, recorded in Paris, which brings together the Afro-Brazilian rhythms of the Recôncavo Baiano and the charm and subtlety of Bossa Nova.

The show is a trip to Rio de Janeiro, cradle of Bossa Nova, and to Bahia, the city that best represents the powerful African influence in Brazilian music, and integrates the music’s rhythmic roots and sophisticated harmonies to celebrate great Brazilian composers such as Dorival Caymmi and Tom Jobim. 

Mario and Tristan promise to transport the audience to a place where the real and the imaginary are experienced and enhanced by poetry and music.

A foot tapping treat…
