SUMMARY:Sofia Avelino sings Elis Regina
DESCRIPTION:Singing the songs bossa nova icon Elis Regina made famous during her brief life\, Vancouver-based\, Brazilian-Canadian singer Sofia Avelino drew a sizable Brazilian crowd and sold-out her Granville Island show last year. Regina’s fiery personality may be legendary – her nickname was “Hurricane” – but her greatest qualities were her immense vocal power\, technical precision\, and emotional intensity. This is what inspires Avelino. With her ace band\, including guitarist Vicente Regis\, pianist Mauricio Zani\, bassist Julia Farry\, trumpeter Rory Hislop and drummer Jordy McIntosh\, Avelino sings 1970s Brazilian classics in a style both sultry and powerful. \nPresented in association with North Shore Jazz.

SUMMARY:Ensemble Constellation and Guests
DESCRIPTION:The music of Montreal-based Ensemble Constellation blends traditions from Africa\, Iran and Baroque music. For this show\, two of the group’s members\, Deo Munyakazi\, a Rwandan musician renowned for his mastery of the inanga\, a traditional zither from Africa\, and Reza Abaee\, originally from Iran\, who plays the fiddle ghaychak\, will be featured. Joining them are West African guitar virtuoso and singer Alpha Yaya Diallo and Ensemble Absinthe. Comprising violinist Edgar Bridwell\, violist Martina Smazal and Anne Duranceau on contrabass\, Ensemble Absinthe’s unusual addition of the contrabass rather than a string trio’s typical cello adds unexpected contrast to the rich\, fluid sounds of the violin and viola. \nPresented in association with North Shore Jazz and Festival d’été francophone de Vancouver.
