Sound of Brazil

The intoxicating sounds of Brazil come to Kerikeri tomorrow when Afro Tropical plays the Turner Centre Jazz Club. The band is built around the voice of Ge Luz, the passionate guitar playing of Ricky de Medeiros and the percussion of Herbert Souza, with the three native Brazilians backed up by guest pianist Mark Baynes and the dynamic rhythm section of Alex Griffith and Lance Bentley. They will perform a variety of Brazilian music styles with a sprinkling of well-known tunes. Doors open at the Turner Centre Theatre Bar at 5pm this Friday with live jazz from 6pm. Entry is $5.
