Cantorias & Amsterdam Funk Orchestra

Cantorias

From rousing rhythms to dreamy mantas, from sweet close harmony to exuberant songs in which four voices become one. Cantorias plays Brazilian music inspired by the sound of the 70s/80s. Music that is filled with strong statements and an enormous musical diversity. In addition to traditional protest songs and well-known sambas, Cantorias also gives a new face to original pieces and arrangements by contemporary artists, in which the voices of Nina, Anna, Lilian and Femke flow in and out of each other in a seemingly effortless way. 'Cantoria' means song, and in common parlance 'Cantorias' describes an exuberant party, where people come together to sing. In October 2024, Cantorias won the Edison Jazz Vocal National.

Amsterdam Funk Orchestra

The superlative of Funk is Brazilian Funk, or: samba soul! It can hardly get more warm-blooded and swinging than this ecstatic music. Samba soul combines the influences of James Brown and Parliament with the cool-tropicalia feel of the South American continent. Amsterdam Funk Orchestra has been around since 2014 and is led by Lucas Figuerredo Santana. The band turns every performance into a party and has a proven live reputation. The album release of the next album is planned for early 2025, of which the first single 'Xami Xami' has just been released.

Please note: the end time is an indication.
