ZECA VELOSO AND TOM VELOSO Tuesday 10 July LONDON Barbican

The Brazilian superstar’s music radiates warmth and passion. His seductive, melodic voice and bossa-nova guitar push Brazilian traditions into exciting new realms.

Wednesday 18 July LONDON Jazz Cafe Snarky Puppy’s Michael League fuses his groove-driven world with

international influences featuring eight musicians from four continents who have played with everyone from Paul Simon through Yo-Yo Ma to The Lee Boys.

The music, lyrics and melodies were written in a fascinating collaborative process by League and vocalistMalika Tirolien.

The word bokanté means ‘exchange’ in Creole, the language of Tirolien’s youth growing up on the Caribbean island of Guadeloupe.
