Friday Night Music with Born to Bossa

Friday January 30th
Doors at 6.30pm; Music at 7.45pm; Supper at 8.30pm

The second of our Friday Music Nights will feature the Brazilian sounds and rhythms of Born to Bossa. The group will perform a relaxed set at 7.45pm, followed by a short percussion workshop and the chance to join in. We'll then serve a vegan one pot supper at the bar. The bar will then stay open for drinks until 11pm. Entry is free after 8.30pm if you just want to come for a drink or some food.

Born To Bossa, a London-based Brazilian music project led by guitarist, vocalist and musical director Dave Holmes, takes classic bossa nova and brings it up to date. Drawing on Dave's experience performing across both Europe and Brazil, the group has a rich repertoire of classic bossa nova alongside carefully reworked English-language songs and original material.

Dave will be joined by soul, jazz, funk and blues singer Carole Therese Beausaint. Carole, who was raised in North London, has been shaped both by her Dominican heritage and by years performing in Amsterdam’s diverse music scene

Dave and Carole will perform a few Bossa Nova songs, followed by a short Brazilian percussion and samba workshop, and the chance to join the jam.

Before requesting a discounted ticket, please consider sincerely: Are you struggling to meet your basic needs? Would you have to make a genuine sacrifice to buy a full priced ticket? Do you have reduced earnings through a lifestyle choice or rather because you're dedicating your time to unpaid work relating to the climate and nature crises or as a result of structural inequality? If you're struggling to pay even the reduced price please contact us on events@kairos.london.

Please note that most of our events take place in our basement space and we do not have a lift so our venue is not fully accessible. Please get in touch if you have accessibility issues via events@kairos.london.
