About this event
Raquel Álvaro is a Portuguese singer from Lisbon who learned her musical craft in her home city before coming to Leeds to study at the Leeds Conservatoire. While a student, she threw herself into the local jazz and world music scenes in the city and after she graduated, decided to remain in Leeds. Raquel leads from the front performing compositions by Tom Jobim/Jorge Ben/Joao Gilberto from the great Brazilian music songbook and taking inspiration from the great Brazilian female singers – Elis Regina/Elza Soares/Joyce/Flora Purim. Expect a mix of smooth and sultry bossa nova mixed with some fiery samba jazz. She’ll be supported by Leeds tenor sax player James Boyes who, rumour had it played at Ronnie Scott’s plus Prince Harry’s birthday party!
