Céu doesn’t fit in any box, and that’s perfect. Her 2005 self-titled debut album *CéU* propelled her to the forefront of the international music scene and a year after, Herbie Hancock invited her to perform the song "Tempo de Amor" by Baden Powell and Vinícius de Moraes in a duo. She performs here in 2017 at the Moods Club, one year after the release of her latest album *Tropix*, whose musical direction was entrusted to Frenchman Hervé Salters, aka General Elektriks.

Her voice touches and caresses: it is soft, smooth and powerful at the same time. The diversity and subtlety of her vocal range bewitches her audiences. On some tracks, synthetic and psychedelic pop resounds, on others, soul with the scent of choro: here is a concert with cosmopolitan flavours, a multicultural sound that comes straight from Brazil.

Juan De Marcos González is a cornerstone of Cuban music. Recognized thanks to the British label World Circuit via the Buena Vista Social Club and Afro-Cuban All Stars projects, the composer and conductor is without equal when it comes to restoring the very rich Hispanic repertoire of the Caribbean space. One naturally thinks of the African rhythms of the Gulf of Guinea, New York jazz syncopations, but also the classical contributions of the first part of the twentieth century. Present on the stage of the North Sea Jazz Festival with a sizeable band, (starting with some incredible colonies of percussions and brass instruments), the latter offers a breathtaking set in which long breaks on the piano collide, vocal jousts to determine the less headstrong, and even a finale in the form of a mini-symphony with its sophisticated rhythmic codes and its mischievous nod to Gloria Gaynor. Provided in steady tempos, this set from the Latin collective offers an ideal compendium of traditional or modern Cuban musical productions. Note that this performance is commercially available in addition to a live session recorded in Japan. The whole is dedicated to various deceased musicians including the immense Anga Díaz: fans take note… Vincent Caffiaux Show more Show less

Meridian Brothers

With Eblis Álvarez leading the charge, the polymath from Bogotá who writes, arranges, produces and plays everything on their recordings, the Meridian Brothers are an unclassifiable force to be reckoned with.

With Eblis Álvarez leading the charge, the polymath from Bogotá who writes, arranges, produces and plays everything on their recordings, the Meridian Brothers are an unclassifiable force to be reckoned with. At times, they employ the zany rock stylings of Frank Zappa, and at others they drift into psychedelic avant-garde freedom amongst Caribbean and South American rhythms, politicized chants and flavors of salsa. While things definitely drift into the absurd at times, audiences are also liable to realize just how far they have been dragged along with it all. It’s a groove whose impact is felt over time, and in subtle ways. When Alvarez pops on the rhythm with alien keyboard sounds, roaring distortions into the microphone, it is a marvel to see so many heads bobbing in the audience – this is the challenge, and the allure of Alvarez’ creations. Experimentation never sounded so damn catchy. This concert was recorded the same year that the Meridian Brothers released *Donde Estas Maria*, a "kind of journey from Argentina through to Mexico," for which Alvarez retreated into sonic research mode. Here, the performance includes traces from that project as well as compositions from their previous works. It’s a pan-Latin rollercoaster that stays with you long after the notes have faded. **Rowan Standish Hayes** Show more Show less
