Blue Note Beijing Carmen Souza

Date: Nov 18－6:30 pm

Venue: Blue Note Beijing

Price: 400/700 yuan

Carmen Souza was born in Lisbon in 1981 within a Christian family of Cape Verdeans.

Theo Pas'cal, her producer and mentor and one of the best bass players in Portugal, discovered her talent and introduced Carmen to Jazz and other contemporary sounds that markedly influenced her musical development. Carmen wanted to create a new sound, in her ancestor's dialect Creole, that would mix traditional African and Cape Verde rhythms like Batuke, Morna, Cola djon, and others, with her jazz contemporary influences, in a totally intimate and acoustic vibe, different from the traditional festive environment of Cape Verdean sounds. In the intimate setting of a cinema concert hall, you will experience exclusive animated impressionist paintings as the backdrop to a piano concert. The visuals flow and transition along with the live performance as if the art and music were originally composed together. The exclusive show will give you the feeling of hearing the paintings, and watching the music.
