Florence K sings Jobim

Interview by Sandra Gasana

Genres and styles : Bossa Nova / Brazilian / jazz-samba

Additional Information

From singing the songs of Antônio Carlos Jobim in a restaurant in Montreal’s Old Port at the age of 18, it has taken Florence K over twenty years to pay tribute to this great artist with her latest album, “Brésil mon amour”. She will present it on Tuesday October 8 at Lion d’or, accompanied by her guitarist (and her daughter, on the track they sing together), in all simplicity. The perfect dose of peace and quiet we need right now.
