CAIRNS LIFE MAGAZINE FEATURE ARTICLE – JULIANA AREIAS
MAY 2016 EDITION
by Dina Amin
Calling all jazz and Bossa Nova aficionados, Perth-based singer Juliana Areias will be heading up north in June for a very special and intimate performance as part of the 2016 Jazz Up North Series at Tanks Arts Centre. Brazilian-born Juliana has an ardent passion for her musical heritage. Her performances are a manifestation of her love for Bossa Nova, Samba, Tango and jazz, each composed as a dialogue between traditional and contemporary forms.
The effervescent songstress is looking forward to bringing her unique style to North Queensland for her first ever performance at Tanks. “Brazilian music is my passion, my cultural identity, my artistic language and the gift I can share with the world,” she enthuses. “My friend – the singer Tara Tiba – has performed at Tanks Arts Centre before and told me that it was one of the best venues she has performed at in Australia. I cannot wait to experience it!”
The performance will provide Juliana with the opportunity to showcase music from her debut album Bossa Nova Baby, a melting pot of Brazilian jazz that has been earning her rave reviews. “It features 12 songs co-written with superb musicians around the globe,” says Juliana. “It was arranged, produced and performed by some of the best jazz musicians in Perth and Melbourne, including Pete Jeavons, Doug De Vries, Graham Wood, Ray Walker, Paul Millard, Marcio Mendes, Chris Tarr and Cathie Travers.”
The album has been embraced by audiences and even featured on national radio, which has meant a great deal to Juliana, validating her attempts to universalise Brazilian music and make it more accessible to Australian audiences. Since moving to Perth – after years of living in New Zealand and Europe – she has been determined to integrate Brazilian jazz into the Aussie psyche, something she has not only been succeeding with, but also making impressive impressions on fans and critics alike.
“The main difference between Australian and European audiences is that European audiences have been exposed to Brazilian Jazz for decades,” explains Juliana. “In New Zealand and Australia, Brazilian jazz is still quite new. Australian audiences are similarly appreciative though, extremely receptive and keen to discover what it is all about…I couldn’t be happier performing to audiences here and with the support of the Australian music industry as well.”
Juliana’s upcoming Cairns’ show will feature original music from her debut Bossa Nova Baby, plus contemporary arrangements of Latin jazz standards. She will be joined by her band, a selection of inspired jazz musicians, including young pianist Shai Martin and legendary guitarist Ray Walker.
Don’t miss out when Juliana Areias performs for one night only at Tanks Arts Centre on Friday 3rd June as part of the Jazz Up North Series. Tickets are on sale now through Ticketlink.

Juliana Areias – Bossa Nova Baby Show Fri 3rd June 2016
@ Tanks Arts Centre – Cairns- QLD – Jazz Up North Series
Thursday 5 May – Geoffrey Drake-Brockman – Looking Glass Solo Exhibition Opening at Linton & Kay Gallery – St George Terrace – 6pm. Exhibition to be opened by Jude van der Merwe, with a performance of “Belas Artes” by Juliana Areias accompanied by guitarist Mark Shanahan.
After many years of making large-scale public artworks like Totem at the Perth Arena, Drake-Brockman’s first commercial gallery exhibition in over a decade showcases painting, static sculpture and interactive installation. The prominently placed reflective surface is a key motif of the artist—and serves to embed the viewer into the artwork, and to signal the possibility of a portal into another world. With his background in Computer Science, these other worlds are virtual, futuristic domains which evoke “Robot Mythologies”—stories about emotional bridges between real people and created beings.

*Photo from The Western Australian Article – Through the Looking Glass .
The song “Belas Artes” ( Fine Arts) was co-composed by Doug De Vries & Juliana Areias as part of the Bossa Nova Baby Album. It talks about Geoffrey’s art works and how Juliana Areias perceives his life and inspirations as an artist. It is also about how Geoffrey’s art works are making Perth and the world more interesting and how his work and love reflect – like mirrows – on Juliana’s personal and artist life -even before their first encounter.
Listen and see the lyrics and translation of “Belas Artes”

We are looking forward to having you there!


Celebrating the success of her first original album – Bossa Nova Baby – WAM Song of the Year double nomination and featured as the “Changing Face of Australian Music” on ABC Radio National on Australia Day – and after performing at the Sydney Opera House and a European Tour, Juliana Areias is excited to be back at the Ellington Jazz Club, inviting guitarist Edu Ruaro to present the Tropical Travels Show with her.
Juliana Areias and Edu Ruaro, both originally from Brazil, have been living and working all around the globe, exploring their passion for music, nature and beaches. When they perform together it’s always summer.
This concert celebrates Eduardo’s new stop in Perth after a year spent between Bali and Brazil. It is an unique opportunity to experience the spontaneity and joy of their performance together.
The show will present a watercolour of Brazilian rhythms and songs from some of the best Brazilian composers including Antonio Carlos Jobim, Djavan, Gilberto Gil and Caetano Veloso as well as few originals. They will share the fun and the stage with Paul Millard’s magic sax and flute sounds and Bronton Ainsworth’s playful drumming.
Come aboard and enjoy the Tropical Travels with us.
