We had a great year! I hope you did so as well!
There were very special shows going on – and we’ve been working with fantastic musicians.
No matter if the project was MEUS AMORES – brazilian lovesongs with the incredibly Benjamim Taubkin on piano and Margarethe Deppe on Violoncello – with a tour bringing us to the completly sold out Wiener Konzerthaus / Mozartsaal or the Cancarejew Dom in Ljublana – or with my regular band project presenting brazilian bastardsound – it was simply amazing!
We had a small US Tour, bringing us to New York City & Washington DC, where we had a great time at Joe’s Pub and at the Austrian Cultural Forums.
In Europe, certainly one of the highlights was playing at the Veneto Jazz Festival – or doing the opening of Into the City / Wiener Festwochen.
I loved the energetic cooperation with la Banda di Piazza Caricamento from Genova, with amazing shows in Italy & Croatia and our new project “everybody bastardista” presenting a huge band with amazing rappers and dancers – simply BOMBASTIC!
Not to forget an excursion to the roots of Bossa Nova with the brazilian legend Nelson Angelo…
Here is my present to all of you – lots of love !!
And 2011 is even more promising!
we will party and enjoy 100 years centenary of international women’s day with a great project: femous. The femous orchestra will bring female excellency to all of you… don’t miss us!!!
and in the meantime… I’m in Brazil – between Pedra Azul, my hometown and Salvador, where I’m running the project Casa Matria — find me @ http://www.casamatria.net Axé!!!
