Doors open at 2:30pm, with music from 3:00-5:00pm.
Step into the soulful soundscape of Minas Gerais, Brazil – the birthplace of some of the most expressive and influential music in the world. The Minas Project is an uplifting and heartfelt tribute led by internationally renowned drummer and vocalist Davide Giovannini, celebrating the spirit and artistry of musical legends like Milton Nascimento, Toninho Horta, Beto Guedes, and Lo Borges.
What began as a spark of inspiration through Davide’s collaborations with Brazilian icons has blossomed into a stunning live experience. From working with Toninho Horta and Yuri Popoff to recording in Brazil and soaking in the culture and rhythm of the region, Davide’s journey has culminated in a collection of original songs that channel the unmistakable Minas vibe – rich harmonies, lush melodies, and irresistible groove.
Joining Davide on stage is an all-star lineup:
- Neil Angilley – piano & keyboards
- Paul Booth – saxes, flute, bass clarinet, keyboards
- Guillermo Hill – electric & acoustic guitars
- Davide Mantovani – electric bass
Expect an afternoon of world-class musicianship, deeply rooted emotion, and the warmth of Brazilian soul – all brought to life within the unique and intimate setting of Southern Maltings.
Whether you’re a jazz aficionado, a lover of world music, or just curious to experience something beautiful and new – this is a performance not to be missed.
