Passengers in Music

In a night that features 4 musicians that will take you across the atlantic and back!

On this journey we have Vicondre (Chile) who will move through the Latin styles. Utropiks (Brazil) who combines Brazilian sensibilities with African explorations and lastly; Bossa Nova Blue who recall the 'quiet music' of Rio that seduced the world.

Vicondre (Victor Henriquez) is a Chilean musician living in Northern Ireland. He performs on charango, Spanish guitar and vocals. Vicondre’s songs blend Mediterranean and Latin American influences, often collaborating with diverse musicians and dancers. His longest-standing collaboration is with Los Dramaticos, Northern Ireland’s only flamenco-Latin band.

Utropiks is Israh Castro, a Brazilian songwriter and producer based in Belfast. With a miscellaneous compositions that has being taken inspirations from a variety of Brazilian traditional rhythms, Spiritual Jazz, Jamaican Dub music and Afrikans polyrhythm grooves, Utropiks dances between Brazilian Afrosambas, progressive music, Funk and modern electronic vibes.

Bossa Nova Blue: Meabh Cormacain (vocal and violin) lived in Brazil and returned home with a passion for bossa nova, Rio’s global musical phenomenon in the 1960s.
