Fleurine presents new songs from her album Brazilian Dream, which are based on Brazilian grooves such as bossa, baião en samba and infused with plenty of jazz.
Singer Fleurine moved from The Netherlands to New York in order to work with major artists such as Lee Konitz, Tom Harrell, Roy Hargrove and Brad Mehldau. Now she’s back in Amsterdam with a dream band featuring up-and-coming and established Brazilian musicians from New York. They have worked with stars such as Maria Bethânia, Bebel Gilberto and Guinga.
‘The Brazilian repertory fits her like a glove. Fleurine speaks the language and her flexible, bright voice is perfect for the ever so laid-back sounding, but incredibly difficult melody lines. Fleurine hits every note with playful ease’ (het Parool).
‘Fleurine is blessed with an abundance of depth, feel and technique’ (Trouw).
