Pianist and vocalist Tania Maria has had a long and passionate love affair with
music. As early as 1969, her first musical performances clearly showed her potential
and her predilections: a mix of Brazilian rhythms and jazz harmonies, underpinning
a remarkable natural gift for spinning sophisticated melodies. She’s also taken
part in virtually every major jazz festival in the world, from Montreux to New Orleans,
Tokyo and Nice and clubs like the Blue Note in New York and Tokyo. Tania Maria is
an accomplished musician who, though always attracted to swing and jazz, has never
forgotten the fundamental beats of her native choro and samba.
• Tania Maria performs on the Congo State on Friday, August 26 and Saturday, August
27. She will be accompanied by Marc Bertaux (bass guitar), Edmundo Carneiro (percussions)
and Hubert Colau (drums).
