Brazilian act hits summer concert stage tonight
NORWICH – The Chenango Blues Association’s free Summer Concert Series continues tonight with a performance by the Brazilian musical group, “Minas.”
“Minas” was formed in 1978 and has since been one of the most sought after Brazilian acts in the United States, jazz critics say. Driven by vocals, piano and acoustic guitar, “Minas” surrounds itself with big band instruments, forming what’s been described as a “warm,” “engaging” and “magical” sound.
“We are really looking forward to seeing this very unique show,” said Chenango Blues Association Secretary Linda Palmatier. “I understand that not only will they have a six piece band, but there will be costumed dancers as well. It’s an opportunity to see something you may never see in our area again.”
The show starts at 7 p.m. in the West Side Park. In case of rain, it will be moved into the nearby Chenango County Council of the Arts’ Martin Kappel Theater on West Main Street across from the library.
The performance is being sponsored by Senator Tom Libous (R-Binghamton) and was coordinated by “Southern Tier Celebrates.”
“It’s great that Senator Libous has provided the funding to bring a special event to Norwich and Chenango County,” Palmatier said.
This is the second week in a five-week series sponsored by NBT, with the help of other businesses and community organizations, that leads up to Chenango Blues Festival being held Aug. 17 and 18 at the county fairgrounds in Norwich.
There will be free samba lessons prior to the concert. Also, at the intermission, their will be a special demonstration of “capoeira,” a form of martial arts developed by slaves in the 1800s that was disguised as a dance.
“Minas” has was won numerous awards and performed live at the Lincoln Center in New York City and on “Emeril Live.”
