  1. Tiago Lageira /// CD Release ‘Every Petal Tells A Story’

    Teatro Munganga, Thursday, December 17 at 08:00 PM GMT+1

    Following the release of his new album ‘Every Petal Tells A Story’ on Challenge Records, Portuguese guitarist and composer Tiago Lageira brings his latest project to Munganga as part of the album release tour.

    The album features seven original compositions and grew from a series of musical dialogues with six remarkable women. Through these intimate encounters, the music explores the meeting point between jazz, Brazilian influences and the Portuguese spirit of fado.

    For this special concert, Lageira is joined by his trio and special guests, presenting music from the album alongside moments of improvisation and musical conversation. Rooted in storytelling, lyricism and connection, Every Petal Tells A Story invites the audience into a world where each composition reveals its own voice and perspective.

    Winner of the Dutch television competition We Want More, performer at North Sea Jazz Festival and featured alongside Mariza on Portuguese national television, Tiago Lageira has established himself as a distinctive voice on the Dutch jazz scene.

  2. Vientos del Sur swinging music from the Southern

    Teatro Munganga, Sunday, December 6 at 04:00 PM GMT+1

    English below Swingende son Cubano, uitbundige flamenco, melancholische Portugese fado, Argentijnse chacarrera, hilarische Texmex en zwoele Braziliaanse en Kaapverdische muziek. In deze voorstelling van het kwartet Vientos del Sur, onder de bezielende leiding van zangeres Ester Veldhuis scheert het publiek in een vogelvlucht langs de kusten van Zuid-Spanje voor vurige Flamenco, over de daken van Lissabon vol melancholische Fado, tot diep in de hartslag van Latijns-Amerika. Van de uitgestrekte Argentijnse pampa’s tot de dampende clubs van Havana vervaagt bij elke noot de afstand tussen wat je hoort en waar je bent.
    Door de oorspronkelijke teksten in poëtische Nederlandse vertalingen te verweven met spoken word, wil Vientos del Sur het publiek deelgenoot maken van universele thema’s als verlangen, heimwee, ‘saudade’ en levensvreugde. Een mozaïek van klank en woord zal zonder taalbarrière de luisteraar in vervoering brengen tot de laatste snaar geklonken heeft. Het kwartet bestaat uit musici die hun sporen ruimschoots hebben verdiend. Zangeres Ester Veldhuis vormde haar stem via gospel, blues, een flamencokoor en ze was popster in Bolivia.
    ‘Ester zingt met haar Latijns-Amerikaanse temperament de mooiste melodieën die bij elk nummer rechtstreeks binnen komen in hart en ziel’ (Club Kazoo). Ook gitarist en componist Alain Labrie werd geprezen voor ‘zijn bijna voelbare onderhuidse spanning waarmee hij elke compositie noot voor noot opbouwt naar een totaal onvoorspelbare climax (Lust for Life, 2024). Het Limburgs Dagblad noemde Franklin Heilijgers de ‘beste flamenco-bassist van de Benelux’. In het samenspel legt hij een fundament vol groove en muzikaliteit. En Master-percussionist Olaf Keus, die op vele internationale podia stond, maakt het feest compleet met Latin, Braziliaanse en Afrikaanse ritmes. Vientos del Sur: Virtuoos vakmanschap dat muziek universele verhalen laat vertellen die beroeren en regelrecht een weg naar het hart weten te vinden. Line up
    Esther Veldhuis, zang
    Alain Labrie, gitaar
    Franklin Heilijgers, bass
    Olaf Keus, drumstel, percussie English Swinging Cuban son, exuberant flamenco, melancholic Portuguese fado, Argentine chacarrera, hilarious Tex-Mex, and sultry Brazilian and Cape Verdean music. In this performance by the Vientos del Sur quartet, under the inspiring leadership of singer Ester Veldhuis, the audience takes a bird’s-eye view of the coasts of southern Spain for fiery flamenco, over the rooftops of Lisbon filled with melancholic fado, and deep into the heartbeat of Latin America. From the vast Argentine pampas to the steamy clubs of Havana, with every note the distance between what you hear and where you are fades away. By interweaving the original lyrics in poetic Dutch translations with spoken word, Vientos del Sur aims to share universal themes such as longing, homesickness, “saudade,” and the joy of life with the audience.
    A mosaic of sound and word will transport the listener, without any language barrier, until the very last chord has been struck. The quartet consists of musicians who have more than earned their stripes. Singer Ester Veldhuis honed her voice through gospel, blues, a flamenco choir, and she was a pop star in Bolivia. “With her Latin American spirit, Ester sings the most beautiful melodies that touch the heart and soul with every song” (Club Kazoo). Guitarist and composer Alain Labrie was also praised for “his almost palpable underlying tension, with which he builds each composition note by note toward a completely unpredictable climax” (Lust for Life, 2024). The Limburgs Dagblad called Franklin Heilijgers the “best flamenco bassist in the Benelux.” In the ensemble, he lays a foundation full of groove and musicality. And master percussionist Olaf Keus, who has performed on many international stages, completes the celebration with Latin, Brazilian, and African rhythms. Vientos del Sur: Virtuoso craftsmanship that lets music tell universal stories that move the soul and find a direct path to the heart. Lineup

  4. Pra Gira Girar—A Celebration of Os Tincoãs

    Teatro Munganga, Saturday, November 7 at 08:00 PM GMT+1

    Pra Girar Girar are Alvaro Lancellotti, Michele Leal, and Alan de Deus on vocals, Pedro Costa on guitar, Kassin on bass, Zé Manoel on piano and vocals, Zero Telles (in memoriam) and Anna Magalhães on percussion, and Diogo Gomes on trumpet. The project came about from Alvaro Lancellotti’s long-standing admiration for the work of Os Tincoãs and his wish to create a live show celebrating the legendary trio. “The idea was to create a show that could introduce the younger generation to the work of the Bahian group”, says Alvaro Lancellotti. Their shows drew the attention of producer Mario Caldato Jr. and artistic director Samantha Caldato who suggested recording an album for their label Amor in Sound. The single very much follows in the steps of Os Tincoãs with its close harmonic spaces and Afro-Brazilian chants that made their music so innovative and special. Os Tincoãs
    They were a Brazilian popular music group from Bahia, primarily active in the 1960s and 1970s. The music of Os Tincoãs was heavily influenced by Bahia's Candomblé culture and tradition. The Tincoãs brought together religious chants, gods, orixás and sambas de roda, reinforcing Afro-Brazilian heritage. About the founders
    Mateus Aleluia (83 years old) is still very active in singing and songwriting. In 2017 he released "Fogueira Doce", a new album produced independently.
    Another 'Tincoã' is Badu (76 years old), who joined Os Tincoãs in 1975 remaining till 1983.
    Dadinho died in Luanda, Angola in 2000, where he had opened a bakery. The New York Times about Pra Gira Girar:
    "What if a collective of renowned musicians decided to reimagine the songbook of Brazil’s most
    beloved vocal group? And in the process created a record rooted in Afro-Brazilian tradition that
    sounds thoroughly contemporary and original?

    That is the story of Pra Gira Girar—A Celebration of Os Tincoãs. Born of love and reverence for
    Bahia’s legendary trio, Os Tincoãs, this studio project reimagines their music for today’s audiences.
    In the 1970s, Os Tincoãs combined chants from the Candomblé and Umbanda religions with intricate
    vocal arrangements and unearthly close harmonies, creating some of the most important recordings
    in the history of Brazilian popular music.

    Inspired by historic LPs, four singer-songwriters—Alvaro Lancellotti, Michele Leal, Alan de
    Deus, Zé Manoel and guitarist Pedro Costa —formed Pra Girar Gira in 2025.
    Together with a group of outstanding instrumentalists and producers Kassin and Mario Caldato Jr. they transform classic songs like "Atabaque Chora", "Cordeiro de Nanã" and “Na Beira do Mar” by weaving in
    modern basslines, vibrant horn sections, and expanded percussion.

    Pra Gira Girar, A Celebration of Os Tincoãs is an emotionally charged exploration of Afro-Brazilian music and spirituality by a group that sounds like no one else". Alex Halberstadt
