About
Orlando Haddad and Patricia King of Minas will return to The Living Room at 35 East for a duo performance. Minas takes Brazilian and American roots to create a sound that is fresh and innovative, from ballads tinged with melancholic traits of blues and Choro, to folk coasting on the subtle coolness of a Bossa Nova pulse, to upbeat sambas elaborated with instrumental jazz improvisation, scat singing and whimsical whistling. With recordings of original music and a collection of over 100 songs, Haddad and King's compositions have been compared to classics by Cole Porter and Antonio Carlos Jobim. Capturing the essence of great songwriting with memorable melodies, inventive harmonies, and poetic lyrics, the music of Minas is engaging and timeless.
