Happy Bossa Nova Day – Tom Jobim & Leny Andrade birthday tribute

Posted on by julianaareias in Uncategorized

HAPPY BOSSA NOVA DAY! The day on which Antônio Carlos Jobim & Leny Andrade were born, both pivotal artists in the creation and development of Bossa Nova and Samba Jazz. No wonder they are my favourite composer and singer respectively. 

Leny used to call me her “little friend photographer”… At the same time, my dear friend Ruy Castro gave me the nickname “Bossa Nova Baby”,  and gave me access to many rehearsals and concerts of the Chega de Saudade Concert Series featuring all my Bossa Nova idols…  This luck of meeting them all personally and taking all opportunities to watch them live, be with them during the rehearsals and after the concerts, having dinner all together, during my teenage years, inspired me to become a singer. 

Here is our tribute to both of them, Leny Andrade and Tom Jobim, featuring 3 of their original arrangements and 1 surprise arrangement. 

Waters of March – composed by Antonio Carlos Jobim

Wave – composed by Antônio Carlos Jobim, arranged by Leny Andrade’s band. 

Dindi – composed by Antônio Carlos Jobim and Aloysio de Oliveira featuring Loro Bardot with Juliana Areias.  

Eu quero ver – composed by Carlinhos Vergueiro / J. Petrolino / Landinho , arranged by Leny Andrade’s band. 

🎥 Videos recorded at the Ellington Jazz Club, Perth, Australia, featuring: Juliana Areias (voice), Paul Millard (sax/flute), Moha Michel (piano), Joshua de Silva (guitar), Tommi Flamenco (bass), Rafael Medeiros de Souza (percussion), Francisco Munhoz (drums), Bronton Ainsworth (drums) and very special guest Loro Bardot.

Beautiful day to became Australian – thanks to Bossa Nova

Posted on by julianaareias in Uncategorized

What a beautiful day to become Australian! So much to say… I feel only gratitude. This citizenship comes after living in Perth for 16 years and after receiving the rare Global Distinguished Talent Visa about 2 years ago thanks to a life long dedication to Bossa Nova worldwide.

Thank you Meu Amor Geoffrey, for all your love, encouragement and support at every step… For helping me and understanding how important it was to be granted Australian citizenship for me and for my beloved kids Jobim and Lilas, not by the easiest way… but because I am an artist. 

Why we do what we do, is important. It matters that we persist in what we believe is the best contribution we can give to the world. 

To be an artist means to deal with continuous uncertainty, frequent rejection and lack of understanding almost everyday. Yet, on a day like today, the value of culture and the arts is reaffirmed. 

Thank you Australia. 

Thank you Bossa Nova. 

Thank you Ruy Castro. Thank you Menescal. 

Thank you meus amores Geoffrey, Jobim, Lilas and Lua.

Thank you to my family and friends here and around the world. Thank you to every person I have ever met and every life event which has brought me to here and now. 

This Friday 20 September, I get to do what I love doing and I hope I can have the honour of celebrating with you at our Juliana Areias – Jobim Forever Concert at the Ellington Jazz Club. http://www.julianaareias.com (link in bio). 

Juliana Areias – Jobim Forever 

Thank you Antônio Carlos Jobim, Leny Andrade, Joao Gilberto, Vinícius de Moraes and all bossa nova masters. 

Thank you Perth. 

Thank you the Ellington Jazz Club 

Thank you all for supporting live music in this extraordinary city we all love to call home. Our Island Home – Australia.

All That Samba YouTube Playlist – Keeping alive and searching for meaning

Posted on by julianaareias in Uncategorized

Hello beloved people around the planet… Since Mid March you have not heard much about music from me, but much more about my political journey … Thank you for caring, for listening… You know who you are…

Each one of us is coping the best (or worse) we can with these multiple global crises… Most of the time I have been feeling in fear, lost, depressed, worried, guilty, overwhelmed, drained, paralysed… finding very hard to be my “normal positive self”, with all tragedies around… searching for perspective, meaning in every view, every news, every day, every challenge… Dealing with survival, life threatening and death in the family and of friends.

Brazil’s out of control situation particularly has created even a serious identity crisis… Is the Brazil I represent with my art still current? This colourful country with friendly and talented people capable to face any challenge with creativity and joy? Or has Brazil become just a country of brutality and hypocrisy? How to keep singing the beauty of a country that is dying, is killing itself?

I have no answers yet, but I can see that I am not the only one feeling like this… And, ironically, this seams to be the only way I can feel some hope for Brazil, for humanity, for the planet, for the future, for my art…

Since I am not feeling strong, I am not yet capable to smile and produce “lives” as requested by some people I love … But I am finally very slowly uploading a playlist on my YouTube channel with live performances from my most recent All That Samba Tour around Australia and Singapore which we were lucky to be able to finish in mid March 2020… Only three months ago,but it feels like it was another life… There are about 15 news videos there and I will keep uploading more slowly… when I find energy to do so… I hope it can bring us some hope, light and joy…

Keep looking after yourselves and helping others anyway you can…

With love , Ju
