Find out just how laid back you can be

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.
