Marcio Faraco @ SWM (March 18th)
Marcio Faraco
Presented by Small World Music.
Brazilian-born, Paris-based for over 20 years, Márcio Faraco stays true to the traditional music of Brazil, melding the language of the samba, bossa nova and choro in his evocative songs. While his music draws likely comparisons with the masters – Chico Buarque, Milton Nascimento, João Gilberto and Caetano Veloso – he is adept at straying from his South American roots adding Portuguese fado, African rhythms, and Cuban beats. Featuring delicate and masterful guitar work, his vocals are beautiful and engaging. Márcio is joined by Philippe Baden Powell on piano, the son of the legendary Brazilian guitarist Baden Powell.
Opening show
Luanda Jones Trio
This evening of gorgeous Brazilan sounds kicks off with a set by Toronto’s own Luanda Jones, a singer/songwriter who has been captivating audiences for over a decade with her unique blend of suave, jazz inflected vocals and stylized guitar harmonies. Passionately interpreting some of the South American nation’s most cherished popular musical traditionsm she draws from the wellspring of Brazil’s diverse MPB (Brazilian Pop Music ) genre, Luanda colours the expansive, encyclopedic sonic shades of her cherished influences with an unforgettable vocal charm and entirely welcoming onstage personality.
