Lucia Fodde Band “Samba e Amor“

Berlin-based jazz singer Lucia Fodde is delighted to present SAMBA E AMORE, a project that conveys a powerful message of peace and freedom and brings a unique programme to the stage, combining the soulful rhythms of Brazilian music with the poetical beauty of the Italian language. With timeless works by legendary Brazilian composers such as Chico Buarque, Vinicius de Moraes and Toquinho, Lucia takes the audience on a fascinating journey through an era of rich artistic exchange. In the 1970s, during their exile, Brazilian musicians and poets collaborated with Italian artists such as Ennio Morricone, Mina, Ornella Vanoni and, in particular, the poet Sergio Bardotti, who created Italian versions of their songs. These collaborations built a cultural bridge between the two nations and produced outstanding interpretations in Italian that convey powerful messages of resistance, hope, humanity and peace – messages that are more relevant today than ever.
