The concert will present 11 of the Afro Sambas – these compositions are some of Baden Powell and Vinicius de Moraes most profound works. They are the result of Powells’ journey of discovery into the African roots of Brasilian music. These ‘Afro Sambas’ are both musically significant and deeply spiritual. This song cycle is a dramatic work, based around the religion of Candomble, a syncretic cult brought from Africa to Brazil by the slaves. These works will be performed in a theatrical setting, doing justice to the profundity of the compositions. Led by Julie Bevan the concert will comprise local singers, musicians and dancers.
