With a dad who invented bossa nova and an uncle who penned ‘The Girl From Ipanema', it's fairly certain that João Marcello Bôscoli knows a thing or two about Latin music. As the founder of Brazil's most celebrated contemporary record label, he has championed the artists at the heart of the country's recent musical rejuvenation. |

At a time when labels have become little more than licensing and PR machines, churning out mostly forgettable compilations, Bôscoli's Trama has become a by-word for raw talent. Although picking up on hot European acts such as Franz Ferdinand, it's more respected for its abundance of brilliant homegrown performers. This Saturday you can catch a snapshot of Trama's best playing with the Latin zest they are known for in the glitzy surroundings of Cadogan Hall. Lap up Patricia Marx's samba with a modern twist and enjoy Time magazine cover star Max de Castro's use of his golden tonsils and guitar. The highlights of the night include a chance to see Tom Ze who at 65 is worshipped at home for his spellbinding take on pop music. |
