A cantora brasileira de Bossa Nova, Juliana Areias, ainda está a digerir a novidade incrível de, mais de dois anos após a sua aplicação, ter conseguido o tão raro e prestigiante Global Talent Visa – subclasse 858. “Esta é uma vitória para mim depois de uma longa carreira artística, mas também representa muito para a música e cultura brasileiras na diversidade da Austrália”, disse Juliana Areias à SBS.

---

No ano em que comemora 15 anos de Austrália e 25 anos fora do Brasil, a cantora e compositora brasileira, Juliana Areias, não poderia estar mais feliz e orgulhosa de tudo o que conquistou em Down Under.

Para festejar “em grande” o culminar da sua carreira mas também a sua caminhada de emigrante brasileira, Juliana Areias acaba de ganhar o seu Global Talent Visa – subclasse 858.

De notar que o Talent Visa não é para todos. Trata-se de um visto permanente para pessoas que têm um histórico reconhecido internacionalmente de realizações excepcionais, que se destacam num campo elegível das artes, do desporto, da academia, da investigação ou numa profissão que exija habilidades extraordinárias.

Juliana conseguiu ver reconhecido o seu mérito no universo das artes, mais especificamente na música brasileira de uma forma geral, em particular na Bossa Nova.

Mas alcançar este estatuto no mundo da música, ao ponto de ganhar o Talent Visa não foi fácil. Nem um pouco, aliás.

Ainda estou entendendo o que isto tudo significa. Mas estou muito feliz porque este visto tem um valor simbólico muito grande de reconhecimento de um trabalho artístico, de uma jornada de 25 anos de carreira.

Começa por nos confessar Juliana Areias, ainda emocionada

Foi no final de fevereiro de 2020, pouco antes de entrar no avião para Singapura onde tinha mais um dos seus shows agendados, que Juliana correu com o seu parceiro, Geoffrey Drake-Brockman, e os seus filhos, Jobim e Lilás, aos Correios para enviar a sua aplicação ao visto, “um autêntico livro com mais de 400 páginas, entre cartas de apoio, artigos de jornais e revistas, e posters de concertos”.

Para provar que era merecedora desta conquista excepcional no campo da Bossa Nova e da Música Brasileira local, nacional e internacionalmente, Juliana teve muito apoio de gente e instituições que fazem toda a diferença.

Juliana foi apoiada pelos maiores e mais influentes no mundo da Bossa Nova e do Jazz: APRA AMCOS , WAM, diplomatas brasileiros, produtores musicais, académicos e os principais especialistas e músicos do jazz brasileiro na Austrália, Brasil, EUA, Europa e Japão – que fizeram questão de reconhecer o seu trabalho como relevante no movimento do jazz e da Bossa Nova contemporâneos do Brasil.

Acima de tudo, Juliana teve ao seu lado ícones da Bossa Nova tais como Roberto Menescal, considerado um dos “pais da Bossa Nova”, e o famoso jornalista brasileiro, Ruy Castro, que apelidou Juliana Areias de “Bossa Nova Baby” quando ela ainda era uma adolescente.

No final, com o apoio de todos, Juliana conseguiu o seu objectivo, o qual dedica principalmente aos seus filhos e a todas as mulheres que decidem agarrar a sua vida pelas suas próprias mãos.

O processo de aplicação para este Talent Visa tem um valor enorme de família. Estou orgulhosa de estar passando para os meus filhos a residência permanente pelo talento artístico da mãe deles. E ainda por cima sem a ajuda de nenhum agente de imigração. O mundo ainda está a despertar para o papel das mulheres na sociedade e se não formos nós a mostrar o nosso reconhecimento pelo nosso trabalho, ninguém fará isso por nós.

Disse a cantora de Bossa Nova, realçando que correr atrás de um visto de residência na Austrália está ao alcance de qualquer mulher que decida tratar do processo sozinha

Enquanto aguardava o resultado da sua aplicação ao Talent Visa e a “normalidade” pós-Covid ser restabelecida, Juliana continuou a trabalhar em Perth, respeitando as fronteiras fechadas mas nunca desistindo de fazer o que mais ama: cantar.

Durante este período de mais de 2 anos de pandemia, Juliana apresentou 12 concertos temáticos diferentes no The Ellington Jazz Club, e cantou e encantou inúmeras vezes ao ar livre, com o Sunset Songs em North Cottesloe Beach e no Scarborough Beach Amphitheatre.

E como se tanta atividade não bastasse só por si, a cantora brasileira participou no Perth Festival, no âmbito da entrega do prémio Western Australian of The Year junto com a orquestra sinfónica de Perth, bem como no The Perth Concert Hall juntamente com a orquestra filarmónica WACO.

Toda esta energia e qualidade que Juliana revela em todos os momentos da sua vida, são a prova de como a aplicação ao Talent Visa só poderia resultar bem no final.

O amigo Roberto Menescal, recebendo Juliana Areias e a sua família: filha Lilás, filho Jobim e o seu companheiro Geoffrey Drake-Brockman, durante a tournée de lançamento do álbum Juliana Areias – Bossa Nova Baby no Rio de Janeiro em 2016. Roberto Menescal é um dos criadores da Bossa Nova e foi uma das pessoas mais importantes no processo do Global Distintigued Talent de Juliana Areias.

E, dois anos depois, foi mesmo uma resposta positiva por parte do governo australiano que a Juliana recebeu.

Vocês podem imaginar a alegria que senti quando recebi a notícia da aprovação do visto. Isto é monumental para mim, não apenas porque beneficia a minha carreira como compositora e cantora, mas também porque representa um símbolo muito forte de aceitação e pertencimento – este talent Visa significa que a Austrália valoriza a minha contribuição para as artes e diversidade cultural.

Acrescentou Juliana

Mais importante do que tudo, esta vitória burocrática de Juliana também é um grande ensinamento para os seus filhos.

Os filhos Jobim e Lilás e o seu amor, o artista plástico cibernético australiano, Geoffrey Drake-Brockman, celebram com Juliana a conquista do Global Distinguished Talent, no Indigo Oscar, em jeito de cartão postal da Praia de Cottesloe, em Perth, onde vivem.

Embora Juliana e os seus dois filhos tenham passaporte neozelandês (visto de categoria especial para kiwis – subclasse 444), o que significa que podem morar e trabalhar na Austrália indefinidamente; e Juliana também pudesse ter solicitado o Visto de Residência Permanente de Parceiro através do seu companheiro, Geoffrey – que é uma opção de visto muito mais fácil – a cantora escolheu o caminho mais difícil.

Eu poderia ter escolhido aplicar para outro visto mas nenhuma outra opção me pareceu mais romântica e relevante. Prefiro dar aos meus filhos um exemplo baseado no meu trabalho artístico e realizações pessoais.

Acrescentou a cantora orgulha.

Claro, o amor, o incentivo e o apoio de Geoffrey, o seu companheiro, também foram fundamentais em todo esta caminhada, tal como Juliana fez questão de realçar.

In an act of solidarity, WA’s art community unfurled a giant Ukrainian flag at Sculpture by the Sea on Sunday.

The flag, which spanned 18m by 12m, was visible from great distances and heights, showcasing the vibrant bands of yellow and blue.

Perth artist Jarrod Taylor said it was devastating to watch the conflict caused by Russia’s invasion unfold.

“What’s happening to these people in Ukraine is inhumane and it shouldn’t be happening,” he said.

He said the flag marked a sign of solidarity from Western Australian artists and was part of a global movement called Artists Support Ukraine which aims to draw attention to the crisis.

Before the war, Sculpture by the Sea were in talks to host an exhibition in the Ukrainian city Mariupol, however as Russian military activity grew the show was abandoned.

David Handley, the founding director of Sculpture by the Sea, said it was important for the arts community to band together and show support for Ukraine.

The popular annual arts exhibition takes place at Cottesloe Beach in WA and features artists from across the globe. In previous years, sculptures from Ukraine were exhibited.

Meanwhile the number of Ukrainian refugees is expected to reach 1.5 million as Russia continues its attack 11 days after invading Ukraine.

Moscow and Kyiv traded blame over a failed ceasefire plan that would have let civilians flee Mariupol and Volnovakha, two southern cities besieged by Russian forces.

Another round of talks was tentatively planned for Monday as Ukrainians who could escape spilled into neighbouring Poland, Romania, Slovakia and elsewhere.

• SBS Portuguese  – Sydney – Article and Podcast Interview with Juliana Areias by Journalist Beatriz Wagner – 7 Oct 2021, Syndey, AustraliaA cantora e compositora brasileira Juliana Areias, conhecida como a ‘Bossa Nova Baby’, de Perth, conta como é viver na capital da Austrália Ocidental/WA, onde as restrições contra a COVID-19 são quase inexistentes.

Tudo aberto, onde os casos de COVID-19 são raros. Essa é a realidade vivida pelos moradores do estado da Austrália Ocidental/WA.

O estado contabiliza recordes de dias sem nenhuma transmissão local de COVID-19 e quando alguma surge, o governo local não hesita em instaurar lockdown de imediato.

A cantora brasileira Juliana Areias é uma das centenas de brasileiros vivendo em Perth que desfrutam de uma vida normal, enquanto Nova Gales do Sul e Victoria vivem em um restrito lockdown.

Desde 2015, Juliana Areias vem percorrendo o show de Bossa Nova em todo o mundo. Mas, com as restrições de viagens, o jeito foi improvisar para aproveitar ao máximo as oportunidades de shows dentro do estado.

“O que teve que mudar um pouco é isso: se você tinha que fazer trabalho de como eu de estar fazendo turnês, você não vai fazer tudo. Então, tive que fazer uma série de coisas aqui dentro do estado e agora, novamente, com apoio do governo de estado para a arte também. Enfim, tudo para que isso seja altamente sustentável enquanto a gente não pode sair, né? A conduta aqui de Perth é não sair”, disse Juliana.

Confira abaixo, na íntegra, a entrevista da cantora Juliana Areias dada à SBS em português.

SBS – Juliana, como é que é viver em Perth sem COVID, olhando o que está acontecendo em Sydney e em Melbourne.

Juliana Areias – A gente está super preocupado com o resto do país, né? E se sentindo privilegiado, eu amo essa cidade aqui, antes do COVID e agora com o COVID mais ainda. A gente está assim tendo um governo muito legal aqui no sentido de preservar, de um cuidado extremo com a vida, né? Na verdade, de preservar a vida das pessoas e impedir que o vírus se alastre. Então, na verdade aqui a gente só teve a primeira onda de COVID que foi de março até junho de 2020 e depois disso a gente não teve mais COVID.

SBS – Mas, vocês tiveram vários confinamentos, não é?

Juliana Areias – Isso. O que acontece é o seguinte: toda vez que acontece um caso as fronteiras estão fechadas, tanto as estaduais como as internacionais. Então, só entra aqui um número limitado de pessoas, que varia por semana. Tem semana que só podem entrar 500 pessoas na semana, por exemplo. Vai variando com o que está acontecendo ao redor. E aí toda vez que aconteceu algum caso de comunidade aqui foi algum caso que veio de fora, de alguma pessoa que ficou no hotel de quarentena e que um guarda do hotel pegou. Como que tem acontecido no resto do país. Daí quando um caso de COVID acontece que vai para comunidade a gente faz um lockdown total na cidade e no estado inteiro. E isso tem prevenido de o vírus se alastrar. A gente teve um caso em janeiro, abril e julho. Então, a gente faz esse lockdown assim repentino e absolutamente rigoroso que para tudo, mas tudo mesmo, até que a gente zere de novo esses casos e até que a gente saiba que esse caso que foi para a comunidade não foi alastrado.

SBS – O governador de Western Austrália, Austrália Ocidental, tem sido muito criticado pelas autoridades federais, especialmente o primeiro-ministro Scott Morrison, nesse plano nacional para sair dos lockdowns e da pandemia. Como é que você sente um apoio que ele tem em geral na comunidade e entre a comunidade brasileira?

Juliana Areias – Aqui em Perth ele tem o apoio total da comunidade, porque a gente vive uma vida normal, entendeu? Eu sou cantora e desde agosto do ano passado eu tenho feito shows direto, não parei de fazer show de agosto até agora. Quando acontece uma semana de lockdown você adia e faz na seguinte, entendeu? O comércio também está tudo aberto.

SBS – O que mudou com a pandemia em relação a como era antes. Vocês não têm COVID, mas há cuidados, não é?

Juliana Areias – Muitos cuidados sim. Todo lugar que você entra é necessário escanear e se cadastrar para caso se acontecer de algum outro caso de COVID na comunidade vindo lá do hotel de quarentena a gente poder rastrear onde as pessoas passaram, né? E na hora já poder acabar com isso. Isso também tem ajudado bastante. Máscara a gente não usa, só quando estamos nas semanas de lockdown. A vida está normal. A gente está aqui dentro da bolha, como eu digo dentro da bolha da vida. Está absolutamente normal. O que mudou é esse cuidado de você estar se rastreando todo lugar que você vai e ficar de olho nos noticiários, porque se tiver algum caso na comunidade a gente sabe que vai ter um lockdown e apoia essa conduta, porque tem salvado a economia e tem salvado vidas. O que mudou assim, a gente não pode viajar.

SBS – Bom, ainda quem está na Austrália Ocidental ainda consegue viajar, porque algumas fronteiras ainda estão abertas. Com Queensland, com o Território do Norte e com a Tasmânia.

Juliana Areias – Eu não reclamo. A gente normalmente fazia turnês na Austrália toda. Inclusive estava aí em Sydney até estourar o COVID, né? O que teve que mudar um pouco é isso: se você tinha que fazer trabalho de como eu de estar fazendo turnês, você não vai fazer tudo. Então, tive que fazer uma série de coisas aqui dentro do estado e agora, novamente, com apoio do governo de estado para a arte também. Enfim, tudo para que isso seja altamente sustentável enquanto a gente não pode sair, né? A conduta aqui de Perth é não sair. A gente espera até essa pandemia acabar, porque o que está acontecendo aqui, que eu acho muito legal, é uma visão de comunidade mesmo. Então, esses argumentos de que há não pode ter lockdown, porque vai acabar a economia, a gente é um exemplo claro de que não. Se você fizer o lockdown no começo e não deixar a coisa crescer, o lockdown é muito mais curto do que está se vivendo no resto do mundo, né?

SBS – Mas, a análise que a gente tem acompanhado no resto do mundo, obviamente, é que a Austrália, a Nova Zelândia e as nações do pacífico que são ilhas mais isoladas do planeta, tiveram mais facilidade para se proteger do COVID. E, dentro da Austrália, Perth é a capital mais isolada do mundo. Isso também facilita esse trabalho, não é mesmo Juliana?

Juliana Areias – Com certeza também, mas eu acho que tem muito da conduta da liderança do estado. Eu sou absolutamente fã do que o Mark está fazendo aqui.

SBS – Quais são os comentários aí do que está acontecendo em Sydney e da atuação de Gladys Berejiklian [entrevista dada antes do afastamento da ex-governadora de NSW] governadora de NSW nesta pandemia?

Juliana Areias – Quando eu assisto aos noticiários e, eu tenho acompanhado desde o início, a notícia que ela estava tentando dar é uma coisa do tipo “sim os números estão crescendo e vão crescer, mas isso significa que nós estamos fazendo um bom trabalho de triagem”. Eu falei isso não é notícia que você coloca, o ângulo não é esse. Os números estão crescendo, porque está fora de controle. Ainda bem que tem alguma triagem, mas o número que está agora aí agora não tem mais triagem que funcione. Nossa perspectiva daqui de Perth, quando eu a vi falando isso, eu já imaginei que fosse sair do controle, porque é óbvio, né? Isso é uma coisa do líder. Agora, se você tem um líder que fala “a gente vai fechar, a gente vai controlar, a gente vai exterminar isso de novo e todas as vidas aqui são importantes assim como a economia e vamos juntos”, que é o que acontece aqui. Eu acho que a gente tem a sorte de estar aqui. Eu acho que sim, o isolamento ele ajuda, a população que a gente tem é de dois milhões e meio de habitantes. Aí em Sydney a população é bem maior. Tem uma série de outros fatores sim, mas eu acho que liderança e a mensagem clara do que é que tem que ser feito, né? E como é que se controla isso, enquanto todo mundo não estiver vacinado. Quando você estiver todo mundo vacinado e a gente conseguir fazer doses de vacinas que estejam evoluindo mais rápido do que o vírus, tudo bem, daí vão ter outras formas de lidar com essa doença, mas até lá não, porque na verdade o mundo inteiro deixou esse vírus andar soltinho, então essas variantes estão evoluindo muito mais rápido do que as vacinas. Então, até a gente tomar conta do controle disso vão alguns aninhos por aí. E não perceber isso e achar que está tudo bem com o discurso “vamos abrir tudo e vamos viajar”. Que viajar o que. Tem gente morrendo. Isso é uma coisa que pode ser evitada.

SBS – Juliana, só para deixar a gente com inveja aqui, qual é a sua programação para as próximas semanas?

Juliana Areias – Porque eu não posso viajar, eu estou fazendo vários shows aqui na cidade e no estado. Enfim, mas a gente fez um show dia 18 de setembro aqui no Wellington Dias Club que é a casa de jazz. Um show chamado “Chico brasileiro”, falando das músicas do Chico Buarque e da das trilhas sonoras para teatro, para cinema e peças infantis. Um espetáculo lindíssimo. Eu cantando com a minha banda e vários convidados especiais dessa vez, porque Chico merece, né? Ganhou o prêmio inclusive de literatura, o prêmio Camões, há alguns anos atrás, que é o primeiro músico do país em língua portuguesa que ganha um prêmio de literatura, porque ele é autor também. O que é uma das coisas que mudou para mim foi isso, foi o desafio de produzir espetáculos mensalmente diferentes para poder atender a demanda de Perth. Normalmente, você faz um espetáculo e viaja com ele. Como eu não posso viajar, eu sou obrigada a produzir um espetáculo diferente, absolutamente diferente, por mês e fora os outros trabalhos aqui também. Mas, a cidade está borbulhando de espetáculos. Meu marido é artista plástico, a gente está fazendo um espetáculo também de dança contemporânea com Ópera e com robótica. É bailarina robótica dançando com bailarinas de verdade. O único lugar do mundo que pode acontecer uma coisa dessas e tendo esses talentos todos reunidos em Perth. Uma coisa que a gente percebeu também que com a pandemia, muitos talentos voltaram para a cidade. A gente fez aqui o Perth festival também esse ano onde eu cantei com grandes nomes australianos que são de Perth.

SBS – Eu sei que você também se apresentou com a orquestra sinfônica de Perth. Foi um grande show, não é?

Juliana Areias – Sim, e teve o espetáculo Western Australian of the year, maior cerimônia aqui do estado e eu fui convidada para cantar representando todas as vozes dos novos imigrantes australianos. Fiquei lisonjeada de estar cantando ao lado de uma cantora Aborígene e em um cantor inglês. Tinha uma simbologia muito forte de poder estar representando a nossa comunidade brasileira e a comunidade de imigrantes. Foi um momento bem bonito, ele foi bem marcante para mim.

One night stands in The Garden of Unearthly Delights

The Fringe is a month-long artsy love fest but some acts flit in for just one show, so it’s best to book now for these amazing one-night-stands at The Garden.

The line up for Adelaide’s enduring Fringe venue launched today and it’s jam-packed with something for everyone over the 32 days of the festival’s 60^th anniversary.

This season, The Garden will host around 112 shows across 17 venues from 13 February to 15 March with everything from comedy and circus to music and magic.

While many artists set up shop for the duration of Mad March, 20 of The Garden’s shows this coming year are limited to one night, meaning tickets are as scarce as water north of Goyder’s Line and punters better hustle to the box office to secure a seat.

One Night Only:

• Bakers Daughter aka Alyce Platt
• Ceberano + Co.
• COPACABANA & ALL THAT SAMBA – Juliana Areias and Marvio Ciribelli Band
• Country Halls Tour – A Night with Fanny Lumsden

• Article “Music finalists arrive in style” –  The Post Newspaper – page 36 – 9 November 2019, Perth, Australia.

Music finalists arrive in Style – The four finalists in WA’s best world music category all arrived at the Hyatt together in Dalkeith artist Geoffrey Drake-Brockman’s pale blue, six-seater, 1964 Lincoln Continental.

Geoffrey’s partner, Brazilian-born Juliana Areias, was one of the finalists for her original album, Bossa Nova Baby.

She was joined by Reunion Island’s Quentin Thony, the lad singer of Soukouss Internationalle, which opened the WA Music Awards ceremony last week.

Their fellow passenger, Iranian-born Tara Tiba, was nominated for her album Omid and Seychelles-born Grace Barbe was nominated for her new album, Fanm:Woman.

“It was a great celebration of the diversity of the music produced in WA and this musical movement we are creating together,” Juliana said.

“We were all thrilled to be nominees as we knew whoever won, we would all be happy as we truly support and appreciate each other’s work.”

Grace Barbe, who has been opening for The Cat Empire nationally, won best world music act for the 10th time, and best vocalist for the first time.

  Juliana Areias – Bossa Nova Baby (Metax): ““‘Bossa Nova Baby’ is a welcome surprise of good Brazilian music, made far away. It’s bossa that plays soccer with jazz – like it has since the 60s – and scoring a goal.” (Antonio Carlos Miguel, O Globo)  Back in her native Brazil, Juliana Areias was given the nickname ‘Bossa Nova Baby’ and compared to Bebel Gilberto, the genre’s golden girl.  Now this Sao Paulo born singer is the toast of the Perth jazz scene and ready to move you (physically and emotionally) with both originals and Brazilian classics such as ‘The Girl From Ipanema’, ‘Mas Que Nada’ and ‘Flor de Liz’. She’s even performed at the Sydney Opera House!  Juliana and her band not only have the sound but the aesthetic to match, with Juliana in colourful Latin-inspired dresses while giving audiences the inside scoop on a few samba moves that will surely get the party started with flair. Whether you’re a fan of Latin music or looking for a little Latin flavouring for your next event, Juliana and her talented band of jazz instrumentalists will have you almost tasting the tropical air of Brazil.” (http://retromusicbox.com/julianaareiasbossanovababy/) In fact, Areias composed or co-wrote all of the songs on this disc. Instrumental backup is provided by Ricki Malet (flugelhorn); Paul Millard (tenor sax, flute), Ray Walker (guitar), Graham Wood (piano), Pete Jeavons (bass), and Chris Tarr (drums) with Doug de Vries (seven string guitar), Marcio Mendes (guitar), Zak Rowntree (violin), and Cathie Travers (accordion). Really nicely done throughout. Click here to listen to samples of the songs on this disc.

  WAM Member Spotlight: Juliana Areias – Bossa Nova Baby nominated in Focus Brazil Awards

  7 Feb 2019

  JULIANA AREIAS CELEBRATES TWO MAJOR NOMINATIONS IN FOCUS BRAZIL AWARDS

  After a brilliant USA Tour, with performances in New York, California, Florida and New Jersey; Perth-based Brazilian singer-songwriter Juliana Areias, the “Bossa Nova Baby”, has been nominated for Best Musical Presentation and Best Brazilian Music CD for the Focus Brazil Foundation Awards, the most important event for Brazilian culture and arts in the USA, taking place in Florida, USA.

  Vote for Juliana here.

  “After the craziness of living four months in the USA with the loves of my life, my partner and kids, to promote our artistic works there; investing so much courage, energy, money, time, hard work and emotion – it is humbly gratifying to be nominated among so many amazing artists… including many of our new incredibly talented friends and also one of my idols – Grammy & Latin Grammy finalist Antonio Adolfo (composer of “Sa Marina” and many other Brazilian iconic songs). Congratulation to all nominees! To be nominated alongside you is an enormous privilege… Thank you to the Focus Brasil Foundation team for all the opportunities and to all our old and new friends in the USA for opening the doors, your arms and your hearts, welcoming us so well… I am eternally grateful to all of you…” – Juliana Areias about her nomination.

  The Focus Brazil Foundation Awards have a mission to celebrate all aspects of Brazilian presence worldwide, covering a range which goes from Arts and Culture to Business, Entrepreneurship and Social Work, Education and Sports. The awards celebrate not only Brazilians, but personalities, institutions and initiatives from all nationalities which promote the positive image of Brazil and Brazilians.

  Juliana Areias has performed on major stages internationally including the Sydney Opera House, Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club in London, the Green Room in New York, the Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland, the Auckland Festival in New Zealand and the legendary Beco das Garrafas in Rio de Janeiro.

  As a teenager Juliana was personally introduced to the Bossa Nova founders by the iconic Brazilian music historian and journalist Ruy Castro – who also named her the “Bossa Nova Baby”. This direct contact with the Bossa masters inspired her to become a professional singer and songwriter.

  Before moving to Australia, Juliana Areias began her music career in Europe and lectured in New Zealand, but it was her first original album “Bossa Nova Baby” produced in Perth that elevated her to the next level. Featured on Australia Day 2016, the CD received multiple music award nominations and earned regular air play around the world.

Ms. Areias has performed at many major venues around the world including the famous Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club in London, the Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland, the Auckland Festival in New Zealand, The Sydney Opera House in Australia and Beco des Garrafas, the legendary jazz club in Rio de Janeiro.

  Australian-based Brazilian singer-songwriter Juliana Areias will salute 60 years of Bossa Nova at the Bickford Theatre at the Morris Museum on Friday, June 15, at 8:00 PM. Drawing on traditional Brazilian bossa nova rhythms, Ms. Areias has created her own style of Latin Jazz which has made her a hit down under. She will be joined by a jazz quintet led by guitarist Wesley lima de Amorim with Jorge Continento on flute and sax, Itaiguara Brandão on bass, Oriente Lopez on piano, and Samuel Martinelle on drums. The concert will be a blend of original songs from her internationally acclaimed “Bossa Nova Baby” CD plus a selection of exclusive arrangements of bossa classics and samba hits such as “The Girl from Ipanema.”

  Juliana Areias began her music career in Europe before moving to Australia. It was her first all original CD “Bossa Nova Baby” that catapulted her to fame. Featured on Australia Day 2016, the CD received multiple music award nominations and earned regular air play around the world. Her Bossa Nova Baby Concert is filled with original tunes as well as bossa classics such as “The Girl from Ipanema,” blending jazz, pop, funk, ballad, and tango, all drawing on infectious samba rhythms.

  Juliana has performed at many major venues around the world including the famous Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club in London, the Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland, the Auckland Festival in New Zealand, The Sydney Opera House in Australia and the legendary jazz club in Rio de Janeiro, Beco des Garrafas. The Bickford Theatre concert is part of her first U.S. tour which just began in Florida and marks the launch of her “Bossa Nova Baby” CD in America.

  “I am excited to appear at the Bickford Theatre with such a talented group of musicians,” said Juliana Areias. “Bossa Nova is my essence as a person, my original impulse as a singer and my life-soul-heart’s pulsation and it is an honor to share it with audiences in the United States. I hope the people of Morristown have as much fun at my show as I do.”

A bit of Bossa nova, baby: an interview with Juliana Areias

Follow my blog with Bloglovin

Nothing evokes cool quite the way Bossa nova does.  And I’ve checked, everywhere, that yes, that “n” in “nova” is lowercase.

But I digress. So … Bossa nova (lowercase “n”) is cool, no?

Sim, I always associate Bossa nova with people who are chill enough to travel to Rio on the regular, sipping Caipirinhas and generally just enjoying life.  And Brazilian music represents, to me anyway, a kind of freedom and joy that makes you happy to be alive.  That makes you appreciate the sunshine, if you’re in it, or makes you feel like you are in the sun, if you’re not.  It’s just a rhythm and vibe that many people want to be a part of.

Lucky for one woman, she is a part of it, because she is a bona fide Bossa nova singer.  Brazilian herself, Juliana Areias moved to Australia some years ago and has been performing worldwide as a singer of her beloved Bossa nova.  She now has an album, Bossa Nova Baby, which is a mix of original songs and classic Bossa nova favourites.  I was lucky enough to catch her last Sydney performance at the Foundry 616 and witnessed not just a great voice, but a wonderful onstage vibe and presence, from not just Juliana but her band too (my review via WeekendNotes is here).

In fact, here’s a bit of her gig.  Pretty cool, yeh? :)

Juliana is the epitome of living your life with joie de vivre (and if there’s a Brazilian reading this, I would love to know what this translates to in Portuguese), and she shared her thoughts about her life, her music and what fuels her to continue sharing Bossa nova to the world.

How old were you when you decided you wanted to be a singer?

I started my artistic career as an actress when I was 13, when I was known as an actress who could sing. It was only when I was 20 that I became a singer who could act.

What led you to your love of music, and Bossa nova in particular?

My parents certainly contributed a lot to it. Both of them are great music appreciators and they’ve been taking me to live performances since I was a baby.  My father, particularly, loves bossa nova and also is also a singer. He can play  a bit of any instrument he touches – guitar, harmonica, accordion. I remember listening to, enjoying and singing bossa nova classics such as O Pato (The Duck) since I was a child.

When my parents separated when I was 4 years old and I no longer lived with my dad, the music and the bossa nova always helped us to feel connected. And it still does, since I left Brazil in 1996 to live in Geneva, Switzerland, Auckland, New Zealand and then Perth, Australia.

How would you describe Bossa Nova to those who are unfamiliar with that genre of music?

Bossa nova is a type of sophisticated samba, where the rhythm is softer, with jazz and classical influences in the harmony. The first so named Bossa nova was the songChega de Saudade (No More Blues), released in 1958 with Joao Gilberto playing the guitar in the recording. Joao Gilberto is the creator of the bossa nova rhythm. The song was composed by my favorite Brazilian composer Antonio Carlos Jobim and the lyricist and poet Vinicius de Moraes.  Bossa nova songs are often breeze and light, which soft voice.

A few of your songs from the album are very personal – what’s your process for writing songs that are as personal as that?

I believe everything in the world provides inspiration, and I am thankful for that. I love writing about people, places, sounds and stories – and the Bossa Nova Baby’s songs are born this way.

Aside from yourself, obviously, who else should people listen to for good Bossa nova?

The fathers of Bossa nova, Antonio Carlos Jobim and Joao Gilberto, as well as other great contemporary artists such as Leny Andrade, Rosa Passos, Leila Pinheiro, Bebel Gilberto.

What is it about Bossa Nova that you enjoy the most?  Are there other styles of music from Brazil or elsewhere that you love?

I love the whole spectrum of Brazilian music (samba, choro, baiao, maracatu) as well as other global music styles such as jazz, French swing, soul,  blues, rock, pop and flamenco. Bossa nova is my greatest musical passion because of the marriage of samba and jazz. I love the syncopated rhythm and the dissonant harmonies of it. It speaks to my heart with its gentleness and the nylon string guitar sound is just hypnotic for me.

Is Bossa Nova a mixture of different styles of music from other places? How did it develop?

It’s a genre of samba, with jazz and classical influences in the harmony. It was created by the guitarist and singer Joao Gilberto and developed by him with Antonio Carlos Jobim and other composers since the late 50’s, certainly after the end of the Second World War in 1945, when jazz recordings started to arrive in Brazil and influence pianist and composers such as Joao Donato and Johnny Alf, both precursors of Bossa nova. Joao Donato and Joao Gilberto met in Rio de Janeiro during this period and became good friends since then. They are both still alive.

Do you see your children following in the same footsteps as their parents?

My kids’ father works in the engineering field and technical drawing. Both of our kids certainly have artistic talents, both can draw and dance. My son Jobim is a natural comedian and he does Capoeira. My daughter Lilas can sing beautifully. My love and partner Geoffrey Drake-Brockman is an extraordinary artist and contemporary sculptor who incorporates eletronics, robootics and computer science into his art,  creating monumental sculptures around Perth  such as “Totem” (nicknamed “pineapple” at the Perth Arena), “Spiral”, “Read-Write”, “Interlace”. He is also an amazing father of two talented young men, who both display artistic talents in the creation and designing of  theatre sets and props.  They frequently help their beloved Dad in the art projects, in the programming or at the Art Studio.

I love the syncopated rhythm and the dissonant harmonies of it. It speaks to my heart with its gentleness and the nylon string guitar sound is just hypnotic for me

Is there a particular song of yours that is your favourite? Why?

Of course as a good mother, I love all my songs, everyone in its special way. The most recent song of the Bossa Nova Baby album isBelas Artes (Fine Arts), a beautiful “choro” co-composed with Doug De Vries, dedicated to my love Geoffrey and his artworks. There’s also a song dedicated to my kids, Estrela acalando (Start lullaby). Flecha (Arrow) is dedicated to Rio de Janeiro city. Missao (mission) is dedicated to Australia and its samba de gafiera dance community. The tango-inspired songDia a Dia (Day to day) is dedicated to my city Sao Paulo.  The only song in English on the album isNight in Takapuna, dedicated to New Zealand. Geoffrey and I made a stop motion – lyrics video – in English and Portuguese of the songMare Cheia(Full Tide), starring my daugher Lilas , who writes the lyrics on the sand on Cottesloe Beach, our favourite beach in Perth.

What is your favorite Bossa Nova song of all time and why?

This is an impossible question as there are hundreds of bossa nova songs I really love. For example, in my concerts I usually sing two Bossa classics from Antonio Carlos Jobim, Waters of March andThe Girl from Ipanema – the most famous Bossa nova song in the world, but in an unique arrangement inspired by an instrumental version of Raphael Rabello, one of Brazil’s best guitarists ever. Jobim and Raphael have already passed away, so when I sing it, it is a double tribute to both of them. I also love other bossas such asInfluencia do Jazz by Carlos Lyra,Minha Saudade and Surpresa, both by Joao Donato and co-composers Joao Gilberto and Caetano Veloso respectively. In the 90’s even Cazuza, a Brazilian Rock Star recorded an authorial bossa novaFaz parte do meu show which became a national hit. I hope my songs and my Bossa Nova Baby album can be a contemporary contribution to this  genre of music which keeps evolving and enchanting the world.

What’s next for you?

I am heading to Europe to perform in London and Amsterdam in October and then preparing my national tour and Brazilian tour for 2016 and 2017.

” Back in Brazil, where she was raised and given the nickname Bossa Nova Baby, Juliana Areias has been compared to Bebel Gilberto, the genre’s golden girl. Now this Sao Paulo-born singer is the toast of Perth’s jazz scene. Areias cut her teeth on Corcovado and other Antonio Carlos Jobim classics, but the release of Bossa Nova Baby has elevated her above a mere covers singer or bossa specialist. Not that she has turned her back on her heritage. Her first album comprising all original compositions starts with Garoto de Copacabana, which tips a panama to The Girl from Ipanema, the song that helped introduce the suave samba-derived music to the world. While it’s a classy introduction, with cool flugelhorn and saxophone echoing Areias’s dulcet tones, it’s merely a harbinger of what’s to come in a set that features consummate accompaniment from the cream of West Australia’s Latin jazz instrumentalists. The singer excels in an elegant co-composed duet (Belas Artes) with Australia’s finest Brazilian-oriented 7-string guitarist, Doug de Vries. Four-stringed cavaquinho guitar and trombone help generate rhythm as Areias ups the ante in Ultima Cancao De Um Amor. In Flecha, the singer salutes samba and the Rio carnival, aided by a battery of percussion (pandeiro, surdo, cuica et al) and electric guitar. Alto flute helps create ambience in a quieter New Zealand-inspired bossa that’s delivered in English. Portuguese Guitarra and a guest choir respectively illuminate folkloric-styled pieces dedicated to northern and eastern Brazil.”

“Também em versão digital, disponível em diversos serviços de streaming, conferi “Bossa nova baby”. É música brasileira produzida na remota cidade australiana de Perth, local onde vive desde 2009 a cantora e compositora paulistana Juliana Areias (Correção: ao ser publicado, este texto dizia que a cantora era carioca. A informação foi corrigida em 2 de junho).

A boa impressão deixada em fevereiro passado por seu primeiro single, “Flecha”, se confirma em muitas outras canções. Basicamente, sambas e bossas com um pé no jazz garantem o interesse, incluindo “Maré cheia” (esta é uma que, por exemplo, cairia bem demais na voz de Gal), “Última canção de um amor”, “Missão” e “Como vai”. Uma balada entre o tango e a milonga, “Dia a dia”, e um choro-canção, “Belas artes”, têm função mais introspectiva. Mas, abrindo demais leque, pouco acrescentam a toada sertaneja “Estrela acalanto”  e o carimbó “Meu lugar”. De qualquer forma, mesmo com essas eventuais bolas fora, “Bossa nova baby” é surpresa de boa canção brasileira feita longe e ainda ignorada entre nós. Para quem estiver por perto, neste domingo (31/5), Juliana participa do Perth International Jazz Festival.”

(Translation) – ” I reviewed the “Bossa Nova Baby” album in its digital version as available via several streaming services. It is Brazilian music produced in the remote Australian city of Perth, where singer-songwriter Juliana Areias from São Paulo has lived since 2009.

The good impression left last February by her first single “Flecha” (Arrow) is confirmed by many other songs. Basically, the album consists of interesting sambas and bossas with one foot in the jazz world; including “Mare Cheia” (Full Tide) (this is a song that, for example, would be a good fit for Gal Costa’s voice), “Última canção de um amor” (Last song of a love), “Missão” (Mission) and “Como vai” (How are you). A ballad that sits between tango and milonga, “Dia a dia” (Day to Day), and a choro-canção,  “Belas artes” (Fine Art), are more introspective. However, the toada sertaneja “Estrela acalanto” (Star lullaby) and the carimbó “Meu lugar” (My place), open the range too wide and add little to the album. Even with these possible off kicks, “Bossa Nova Baby” is a welcome surprise of good Brazilian music, made far away, and as yet unknown in Brazil. For those who are nearby, on Sunday (31/5), Juliana will be part of the Perth International Jazz Festival.

• Jazz and Beyond – Bossa Nova Baby CD review by John McBeath – The Australian – June 2015

Brazilian-born vocalist Juliana Areias, has been resident since 2009 in Perth, WA where this album was recorded. All twelve of these Bossa tracks were co-written by Areias and sung in Portuguese with lyrics translated into English in an accompanying booklet. The backing varies in size and instrumentation from the single, softly expressive solo guitar of Doug DeVries on Belas Artes (Fine Arts) up to seven musicians and a special guest choir of eleven voices on Meu Lugar (My Place) featuring a variety of Brazilian percussion instruments plus a surdo – an extra large bass drum – and two snare drums The songs come in different Brazilian rhythms: bossa, samba, tango, and choro and Areias is more than capable in all of them. She has been compared to the iconic Bebel Gilberto, daughter of Joao Gilberto, in Brazil’s acclaimed EPOCA magazine The mood is set in the opener Garoto de Copacabana (The Boy From Copacabana) with a Latin/bop sounding intro from a septet, as Areias slides into the lyrics in her rhythmically perfect and passionate vocal delivery. A piano solo from Graham Wood, followed by one on flugelhorn from Ricki Malet add contrast. Innocencia (Innocence) has solo piano behind quick vocal phrases inserted against an interesting, descendant harmonic structure, while Missao (Mission) moves into a quick samba rhythm with a bright voicing and vibrant backing Here’s an agreeable vocal bossa album with enough variety and skilled musicianship to maintain interest, and the agile Portuguese lyrics sound exotic and romantic

Com patrocínio do Departamento de Cultura e Artes do Governo de Western Australia e graças a uma campanha bem-sucedida de crowd-funding que envolveu fãs e seguidores espalhados por países tão diferentes quanto Itália, Qatar, Andorra, Nova Zelândia e, claro, Brasil e Austrália, o CD “Bossa Nova Baby” reúne 12 músicas originais gravadas em Perth com alguns dos músicos de jazz mais conhecidos e consagrados. A sua autêntica voz brasileira, a sua ginga, seu charme contagiante e sua presença apaixonada e ao mesmo tempo pessoal em cena são as características do seu trabalho.

•   GRINGO MEDIA – Latin head office in Australia – ArticleBrazilian singer Juliana Areias is producing her first album ‘ Bossa Nova baby’ – July 2014

Music crosses all borders. It doesn’t matter where it is from. When it comes to the Bossa Nova, we can say with absolute certainty:

• it can touch, if not melt, even the most insensitive heart.

Here in Australia, Bossa Nova has been very well represented by Juliana Areias, a Brazilian singer from Sao Paulo, who after having lived in Switzerland and New Zealand, decided to settle in Perth/Australia where she has been living and singing since 2009.

The singer started her career as a teenager and of course, was influenced by the great personalities of Brazilian Music like Ruy Castro, Tom Jobim, Leny Andrade and Rosa Passos to name a few.

Her talent and musical background, made it possible for her to perform at important music festivals like Montreaux and the Perth International Jazz Festival among others.

Juliana is producing her first album – Bossa Nova Baby – which is made up of 12 tracks.

Some of the tracks bring lyrics in Portuguese, (as a way to pass on her language and culture not only to her children but to the public in general as well), and some are in English; But to accomplish the recording of this album, the singer embarked on a Crowd-funding campaign, which has raised half of the production expenses.

As for the other half, the singer has applied for a government grant, (which is still waiting for approval), and organized a digital system where the full album can be pre ordered and downloaded – https://julianaareias.com/bossanovababycdpreordersandsponsorship/ .

The album will be recorded within the next two months– august/september. The pre ordered purchases will be delivered before christmas and before its official release in February 2015.

The singer, who has scheduled concerts until the end of the year, will perform on the main stage of Kings Park Festival on september 28th from 12.30 to 14.00pm.

If you are close by or are planning to visit Perth, this could be a good day out.

Stay tuned and prepare yourself for the syncopated Brazilian sound of Juliana Areias.

Referência entre os brasileiros na Austrália, Juliana Areias prepara primeiro álbum

Juliana Areias – brasileira faz sucesso na Austrália cantando bossa nova (Foto: Divulgação)

“Poucos brasileiros a conhecem, mas Juliana Areias – assim como Bebel Gilberto antes de estourar por aqui – faz sua bossa, há 15 anos, fora do Brasil. A cantora, que mora há seis anos em Perth (Austrália), mas já viveu na Nova Zelândia e Suíça, prepara seu primeiro álbum, Bossa Nova Baby, com 12 músicas autorais que exploram as influências da bossa nova nos lugares por onde passou. “Bossa Nova Baby é meu apelido musical e reflete a minha essência como cantora e compositora. Sinto que é um trabalho único, bem distante do que eles conhecem e agora atingi a maturidade profissional”, conta ela que, seja onde for, faz questão de cantar em português. “É uma maneira de manter a língua viva e, além disso, a maioria dos estrangeiros ama música brasileira”.

Um dos destaques do álbum é Maré Cheia, já disponível em versão ao vivo no Youtube. “Fiz essa música quando estava na Nova Zelândia, com o músico e compositor Johannes Dimyadi. Na época, tínhamos um trio chamado Bel Bossa e a música fala sobre o mar, uma influência que tive quando morei na Bahia e uma referência à Iemanjá. A letra conta um romance de uma sereia com um pescador”, diz ela, que também compôs Garoto de Copacabana, uma versão masculina e contemporânea da Garota de Ipanema. “Procurei fazer uma irreverência, com vocabulário mais ousado, de uma mulher apreciando um homem”.

“Por aqui, sinto que eu faço um trabalho pioneiro. É uma música bem distante do que eles conhecem”, conta. “Na Nova Zelândia e Suíça, sentia que o terreno estava já semeado. Especialmente na Suíça, já que há décadas havia músicos brasileiros lá. Uma amiga minha de lá aprendeu português só para escutar Chico Buarque, porque havia uma canção dele numa propaganda”. Até optar pela bossa, Juliana chegou a trabalhar como atriz. Aos 13 anos mudou-se de São Paulo, onde nasceu, para Salvador. “Adquiri um sotaque soteropaulistano. E muita gente acha que sou do Rio”, brinca. Seu envolvimento com música, que começou na infância, se solidificou aos 15 anos ao conhecer figuras da bossa nova como o letrista Ronaldo Bôscoli (1928-1994) e o pianista Luiz Eça (1936-1992) nos bastidores do musical ‘Chega de Saudade’. Baseada no livro do escritor Ruy Castro, a peça tinha roteiro de Bôscoli e Miéle. “Tive a chance de ir a ensaios, jantar com eles. Tinha até carteirinha de imprensa para andar nos bastidores. Era incrível como uma menina da minha idade adorava bossa nova”, conta. A mudança para a Suíça veio aos 21 anos. “Uma ex-namorada do meu pai mudou-se para a Suécia quando eu tinha 5 anos, e passou a me mandar cartas e presentes. Só que, criança, eu não sabia ler direito e entendi que era na Suíça. Passei a sonhar em ir para lá”, brinca ela, que passou a cantar lá. Apesar de Juliana apresentar um ou outro clássico da MPB nos shows (‘Mas Que Nada’, de Jorge Ben Jor, é um deles), o foco de ‘Bossa Nova Baby’ é em músicas autorais, todas em português. Entre elas, ‘Maré Cheia’ (parceria com Johannes Dimyadi, músico nascido na Indonésia), ‘Estrela Acalanto’ (que fez para os filhos Jobim, de 12 anos, e Lilás, de 8) e ‘Garoto de Copacabana’. O álbum está sendo completado por crowdfunding e deve chegar às lojas até janeiro. “Depois disso, quero cantar no Rio, Salvador, Fortaleza e São Paulo”, anuncia.

– Live interview and performance at RTT FM – Global Rhythm Pot by Jane Hebiton Tassell  – Women International Day – 8 March 2014 – 12.15 to 1pm featuring Juliana Areias, Geraldine Ray, Nikky Dagostino and Beth Sheldon   – Listen to the program “In celebration of International Women’s Day we’re having a Pop-Up Group of some of our wonderful women world musicians here in Perth – Juliana Areias (Brazilian singer), Geraldine Rey (singer and guitarist with Mambo Chic), Nikki Dagostino (piano accordian) and Beth Sheldon (stand up bass). Juliana currently has a crowd sourcing project open so she can record her first album.  For more information head to the poziblle site to help her out –>  http://www.pozible.com/project/177913 “A big “thank you” for helping Global Rhythm Pot out! It was wonderful having you in the studio for International Women’s Day. The show was amazing and all the stronger for having such an eclectic and accomplished collection of female musicians in the studio for that impromptu performance of fused French and Brazilian songs was an absolutely privilege. And having you and your band at our Global Rhythm Pot fundraiser in January last year absolutely made the night. You and your barrage of supporters (I know they were they for you because they were all singing along with your songs and dancing!) made the night a complete success. We are so grateful for you voluntary contribution to supporting both the show and the radio station.”

• “Areias is one of our major assets in terms of Brazilian music and culture in Australia. Bossa nova is her passion and she represents the style not only singing and composing, but she is also a determined Bossa Nova advocate. Hence the fact she is probably one of the most recommended individuals to talk about Brazilian music/culture in Perth.”

Australia has been the land of numerous international artists that call this country home. Juliana Areias – Brazilian Singer and composer, has chosen Perth as her home for quite some time now, after living nearly a decade in New Zealand. Areias is one of our major assets in terms of Brazilian music and culture in Australia. Bossa nova is her passion and she represents the style not only singing and composing, but she is also a determined Bossa Nova advocate. Hence the fact she is probably one of the most recommended individuals to talk about Brazilian music/culture in Perth.The singer has been very successful in the Perth Jazz scene. Playing alongside, big names, she’s been able to open the space for Brazilian music there, together with other musicians like Marcio Mendes. In other words, she has been one of our channels responsible for the cross-cultural relation between Brazil and Australia through music. Juliana Areias is now campaigning at Pozible in order to record her 1st original album of Contemporary Bossa Nova.Check the link for more info and more than that, support the music made in Australia.

• ” In my capacity as proprietor of The Ellington Jazz Club – WA’s premier venue for live Jazz performance – I first became aware of Juliana Areas when we booked her for a concert in April 2011. This show was sold-out on the night, and we repeated the concert in June to satisfy audience demand. Since that time Juliana has become one of the Club’s most regular performing artists, with 0ver 15 concerts to her credit.  Juliana’s musical professionalism is exhibited in her approach to each concert, where she builds a new show to explore a particular theme or musical idea. Most recently her concert “Metropolis” explored musical interpretations of Sao Paulo, her home-town in Brazil. In the relatively short time since Juliana arrived in WA in 2009, she has built up a considerable following, and can be consistently be relied upon to draw a good audience on any day of the week. Juliana’s sound is an authentic Brazilian Jazz fusion with a strong element of Bossa Nova tradition. Her mastery of her genre makes her one of very few artists in her area and a real asset to the music industry in WA. Juliana is well-known to the Jazz musician community in WA, and she performs with some of our best musicians, including a number of former students and current teachers from WAAPA. Juliana also recently performed at the Inaugural Perth International Jazz Festival 2013. ” –

• ” I have known Juliana Areias since March 2009 when, as Program Manager at Kulcha Multicultural Arts I booked her first concert in Western Australia. Since then I have remained in contact with Juliana and followed her work and career with interest. I have attended a number of her performances over that time and have been instrumental in arranging some of her gigs; including Live @ Woodside, a concert at St John of God Hospital, and most recently the “Van Gogh, Dali and Beyond” concert at The Art Gallery of Western Australia as part of the gallery’s 2013 AGWA Night Series in partnership with WAM. Juliana is a fine vocalist and a true asset to the diversity of the Western Australian musical scene. In addition, in all her engagements I have noted that Juliana is consistently professional in her approach. This professionalism extends from her dedication to high-quality musical performance, and also includes attention to the practical aspects of managing, promoting, and producing her shows.”

Juliana Areias – A borderless voice Talent, versatility and determination Translation by Sue Burns Passionately determined to show the richness of Brazilian Music and aiming to unite diverse cultural backgrounds through her art, Juliana Areias (singer/songwriter) is expanding her work throughout Australia. After the success of her  show “Ginga Brazil” at Kulcha –  the Multicultural Arts Centre of Western Australia, Fremantle Festival and Sunset @ Subi Concert Series, singer Juliana Areias has also conquered the Ellington Jazz Club in Perth – one of the most respected Jazz venues of the Australian Music circuit. She first performed there on April 20th, accompanied by some of the best and most versatile musicians in town: guitarist Glenn Rogers, bassist Pete Jeavons, pianist Tal Cohen, drummer Mike Boase and Brazilian percussionist Marcio Mendes. Her repertoire comprises the best of traditional and contemporary Brazilian Music including songs by Tom Jobim, Djavan, Pixinguinha, Chico Buarque, João Bosco, Lenine, Arlindo Cruz, Ceu and also original songs such as “ Mare Cheia “ (Full Tide) and “Flecha de Oxossi” (Oxossi’s Arrow). Juliana explains: “The Ginga Brazil show is inspired by the Brazilian spirit and soul; its ability to reinvent itself is infinite.  Ginga is a Brazilian word that describes the signature element, the malleable bilateral motion and spirit that Brazilians present in everyday life – always keeping in rhythm. It is present in the way we walk, dance, talk, sing, play, love, live, face problems, adapt and achieve our dreams. In the show, we go beyond the clichés showing the public the whole spectrum and diversity of Brazilian music and at the same time, encouraging the fusion of Brazilian Ginga with the Australian Ginga because it is the mixture of influences that makes Brazilian music – and music in general –  interesting. ” Juliana was born of a mix of two cities: São Paulo and Salvador. She was born in Avenida Paulista on a Saturday evening during Carnival. Her father composed a samba to celebrate her arrival. During her adolescence, living in Sao Paulo, she began her career as an actress and gained the nickname “Bossa Nova Baby” by the renowned journalist, Ruy Castro, due to her unusual love for bossa. She lived for a few months in Brasilia, and at 17, she purposely went to Salvador to live in the same street where Vinicius de Moraes used to live,  in Itapuã Lighthouse Suburb.  It was there that she first performed as a singer and from then on she’s never looked back. She went to Switzerland and began travelling the world. She performed at events such as Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland, Cairo International Song Festival in Egypt as well as the America’s Cup and the Auckland Festival, both held in New Zealand. Juliana Areias says she is happy to bring her music to Australia and enjoys the challenges of being a pioneer: “Compared to other places like Europe, where the Brazilian music market has had a tradition for over 30 years, everything is still new here. I see a great future for Brazilian music here and increasing responsiveness from the public, producers, the Australian media and art lovers.” The next step for Juliana, the singer, is to consolidate her work in Perth and tour other cities in Australia and Asia. She looks forward to producing her new album with original songs, and collaborative works developed along her fabulous life’s journey with musical partners from around the world. The talent and remarkable presence of Juliana attracts partnerships with Brazilian companies established in Australia: the brands; Daniela Collection (Jewellery), Totem (represented by Melko, based in Melbourne), Carmen Steffens and Oi Exchange. In conjunction with her music, Juliana Areias unites her multiple passions. Juliana conducts research and projects relating to the history and music of Brazil. She’s presented seminars throughout Europe, has worked for the University of Auckland as a Brazilian Music Expert and currently writes articles for magazines and her own website, www.julianaareias.com . Juliana still devotes part of her time towards the development of the local Brazilian community, being one of the inspiring, founders and current vice president of the newly formalised Brazil WA – The Brazilian Association of Western Australia Inc. (www.brazilwa.com ). – TESTIMONIAL by Leigh Jarrett | PAN International – Australia,  March 2011

•  “As the producer of sunset@subi; the City of Subiaco’s free concert series, I was delighted to discover the beautiful and talented Juliana Areias. Juliana’s experience is extensive and shows in her very polished but relaxed performance style. The promise of something special had a large audience turn up to be treated to an afternoon of stunning classic and contemporary bossa, samba, fusions and originals, which had even the most reserved up and dancing and clapping along to the infectious rhythms. Juliana has put together a band of  accomplished and passionate musicians who perfectly compliment Juliana in creating a truly authentic sound and memorable experience.”

So Brazil at the Havaianas Botequim So Brazil Duo (Juliana Areias and Jose Henrique Alves) and guest musician Rick Gonçalves joined a cast of Perth celebrities and entrepreneurs in the launch of the Havaianas Botequim on 16 March 2010, at Cottesloe Beach, in Perth. The event was awesome, as Havaianas decided to launch its version of a Brazilian beach Botequim (a very laid back bar selling drinks and traditional finger food) alongside the Sculptures by the Sea exhibition. So Brazil entertained the guests with a selection of songs that made everybody dance, while the catering service provided extra energy via generous servings of água de côco (coconut juice), pão de queijo (cheese balls) and feijoada (black beans with rice). The event made the social pages of several local newspapers (Below: scan from The West Australian,  “Out & About” in their Style section – 17/3/2010).
