Workshop with Minas: Brazilian Jazz Music
Register HERE »
Students, faculty and staff of Delaware County Community College are invited to join us for an educational and engaging workshop with Minas on Thursday, March 28, 2024 at Q-time (11:10 a.m.-12:00 p.m.) on the Marple Campus.
Minas (Orlando Haddad and Patricia King) 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 a catalogue and a collection of over 100 songs, Orlando and Patricia’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.
