Juliana Areias’ authentic Brazilian jazz and the beach, always the perfect combination.
Dubbed the Bossa Nova Baby, award-winning Brazilian singer-songwriter Juliana Areias, brings her Sunset Songs magic to the heart of Scarborough Beach’s Jazz Connect Festival at the Beach Bar, on Sunday 30 August -4-6pm, free entry.
A rare occasion to enjoy Juliana Areias Quintet concert as part of a free entry event.
Featuring her unique blend of Bossa Nova, samba and MPB Fusions with her Brazilian style and rhythmically perfect, passionate vocal delivery – accompanied by the grooviest cats in town.
Recently seen at the Perth International Jazz Festival, Juliana has performed on major stages around the world, including the Sydney Opera House, Montreux Jazz Festival (Switzerland), Ronnie Scott’s (London), The Green Room (New York), and Rio’s legendary Beco das Garrafas, where bossa nova was born.
Juliana’s love of music and performance stretches back to her teenage years in Brazil, when she was personally introduced to the founders of bossa nova by legendary Brazilian journalist and historian Ruy Castro, who gave her the nickname The Bossa Nova Baby. That early connection inspired her to pursue a professional career in music – one that has taken her across Europe, the USA, Japan, Singapore, Latin America, New Zealand and Australia.
Her acclaimed original album Bossa Nova Baby won Best Brazilian Album at the US Focus Brazil Awards and reached the US Top 100 Jazz Charts. A five-time Western Australian Music Awards nominee, her music was considered “the changing face of Australian music” by ABC Radio National and praised as “excelling in elegance” by The Australian in its four-star review.
