Brazilian musicians Anne Boccato (voice), Vin\u00edcius Gomes (guitar), and Rog\u00e9rio Boccato (percussion) join forces to bring to life a concert inspired by Madalena Santos Reinbolt\u2019s life and art. By following her trajectory from Bah\u00eda to Rio de Janeiro, the trio invites us along a musical journey through Brazil\u2019s rich traditions, weaving together familiar themes like migration, racism, resilience, and the \u201cSaudade\u201d (nostalgia\/longing) Madalena infused into her evocative works.<\/p>\n

Anne Boccato<\/strong> is a vocalist, percussionist, pianist, storyteller and educator born and raised in S\u00e3o Paulo, Brazil. She studied jazz piano at the State University of New York \u2013 Purchase College, and began pursuing voice when an injury kept her from playing piano for some time. Through a lengthy rehabilitation process, Anne discovered her passion for \u201cmusical embodiment,\u201d bringing it to bear on all aspects of her playing and singing. She loves creating strong, energetic grooves while maintaining a feeling of ease and gentle strength, no matter how complex the music may seem on paper. Anne\u2019s aim in all she does is to connect people to themselves and to each other through her art; be it through songs, stories or anything in between. Her love of folklore and languages is only matched by her love of watching her music students go \u201caha!\u201d and smile with satisfaction. When she\u2019s not performing, writing or teaching, Anne can be found giving workshops on\u00a0time management<\/a>, a passion born out of years of struggle and research on how to make her freelancer\u2019s life into one of balance and joyful creation.<\/p>\n

S\u00e3o Paulo-born and New York-based guitarist\/composer Vin\u00edcius Gomes<\/strong> explores the dialogue between modern jazz and Brazilian music, as evidenced by his debut albums, “Resili\u00eancia” (2017-Blackstream), “Changes” (2020-FreshSound), in collaboration with Spanish saxophonist Santi De la Rubia featuring drummer Jorge Rossy and bassist Doug Weiss and the most recent release “HOME” (2022-Greenleaf) in duo with Korean singer Song Yi Jeon.
