Paula Morelenbaums Bossarenova Trio

About this event

With “Levitar,” the Bossarenova Trio – Joo Kraus, Paula Morelenbaum, and Ralf Schmid – present a luminous, floating sound world that fully раскрыits its strength on stage. Created between Rio de Janeiro, Lisbon, and Ulm, the songs blend Brazilian spirit with urban elegance and a refined sense of groove and sonic balance. Funky patterns, lyrical trumpet, warm vocals, and virtuosic piano merge into a transparent, dynamic sound that conveys both lightness and depth. “Levitar” – an invitation to let go and float within the moment of live music. With “Levitar,” the Bossarenova Trio lifts off lightly and sunlit, trusting entirely in the song as a force that connects continents. After two albums reinterpreting Brazilian classics, the trio now presents, for the first time, a program of entirely original compositions—songs that reveal their full impact in a live setting. The pieces were created on the move—many ideas came to Joo Kraus on the highway, carried by a distinct “Brazil vibe.” Initial sketches became demos in the home studio, where Paula Morelenbaum gave them character through her lyrics. Over the course of several months—between Rio de Janeiro, Lisbon, and Ulm—the songs evolved into a clear, floating sonic world that translates effortlessly to the stage. Sonically, “Levitar” is deeply rooted in Brazilian sensibility while remaining unmistakably Bossarenova: transparent, finely balanced, and open to electronic elements.
