Latin Bands
Good afternoon, I’m Greg Rose, I represent La Linea, The London Latin Music Festival. We have legendary Brazilian band The Ipanemas playing on Wednesday 16th April at the Barbican with Zuco 103 which might be of interest to you. I’ve had a look on your website and can’t see any news about this show. If you feel this information would be worthy of some space on your website it’d be great. Please let me know if you require me to send an image of the band.

The Ipanemas were originally formed in the late 1950s and although their eponymous 1964 debut was much sought after there was no follow up until Far Out Recordings released the newly recorded ‘The Return of the Ipanemas’ in 2001 featuring original drumming legend Wilson Das Neves and original sambossa guitar specialist, Neco. Their 4th Far Out release, “Call of the Gods”, is due in April and the live band, as well as Wilson, features Ivan Conti and Alex Mahleiros from yet another legendary Brazilian outfit, Azymuth.
Zuco 103, the Brazilian/European band have positioned themselves at the vanguard of the new world / electronic fusion movement. Since the release of their best-selling album Tales Of High Fever in 2002, Zuco 103 (aka Rio-born singer / lyricist Lilian Vieira, Amsterdam-born drummer / composer Stuv aka S.Kruger, and Munich-born keyboardist / composer Stefan Schmid) have been touring around the world, setting audiences on fire with their brilliant mix of live + electronic rhythms, fronted by Lilian’s extraordinary voice and presence. This will be their first London appearance for several years so a special night is guaranteed.
