The legendary Brazilian multi-instrumentalist is now

unique chance to see one of the world's greatest
singer-songwriters in the intimate setting of the
Vortex Jazz Club. Described as 'the doyen of the
Brazilian singer-songwriters' Vinicius Cantuaria is one
of the world's most sublime artists. His gentle,
elegiac, subtly subversive music placing him in a
lineage that includes the great Tom Jobim and Caetano
Veloso. But while his music has the subtle, sad beauty
of the greatest bossa nova songs, it has a darker hue.
He appears here with his new band featuring New
