Theo Pascal_QUAMUNDOS2 | PLANET SMILE

Theo Pascal, a Master of Arts, bassist, composer and pioneer producer in the Lusophone music with jazz influences is mainly known for his work with award-winning artist Carmen Souza. Now he leads QUAMUNDOS2, a powerful multicultural group that includes musicians of Portuguese/Lusophone origin and features CARMEN SOUZA and saxophonist Lenny Sendersky. QUAMUNDOS, which means “union of people” in Kimbundu-Angolan dialect, contemplates a world where differences are respected and valued, at a time when we need more cohesion and humanity. Pascal, whose father was a missionary Pastor within the African communities in Portugal in the 70’s, explores his DNA roots from the North and South of Portugal and his long-term connections with Lusophone Africa. His music is also an expression of how he perceives modern contemporary music. QUAMUNDOS2 is a musical locomotive of infectious grooves, unexpected arrangements and improvised curves. feat in the video Carmen Souza Mick Trovoada Lenny Semdersky Zoe Pascal Irina Velho (Dancer on the video) Orlanda Guilande (backvocal on the video) .

CARMEN SOUZA LIVE AT LAGNY JAZZ FESTIVAL CD_DVD 13.10.2013 . #carmensouza #liveatlagnyjazzfestival #dvd #kriolujazz #jazzworld #jazzy #caboverde #portugal #theopascal . Cap Vert Carmen Souza (voc), Theo Pas'cal (b) Ben Burrell (p), Elias Kacomanolis (perc,dr) « À LA MANIÈRE D'UNE ELLA FITZGERALD DU CAP-VERT, CARMEN SOUZA CHANTE LA SAUDADE AVEC SENSUALITÉ ET FRAÎCHEUR » LES INROCKUPTIBLES Après le succès en 2012 de Kachupada (Télérama ffff ), l'album qui l'a consacrée en France, et une série de concerts ayant reçu un accueil enthousiaste des medias et du public, le label Galileo sort ce nouvel album (CD+DVD) enregistré en octobre 2013 Live au Lagny Jazz Festival. On retrouve des versions live de chansons de ses trois albums studio (Verdade, Protegid et Kachupada) ainsi que trois titres inédits, y compris son interprétation très personnelle de Sous le Ciel de Paris. En quelques années, Carmen Souza est devenue une référence de la musique du Cap Vert, et l'une des rares artistes à créer un nou- veau corpus de chansons cap verdiennes intemporelles, qui inspireront sans aucun doute les générations à venir. Entre jazz et world music, avec un héritage africain très présent, la chanteuse cap verdienne mêle dans ce Live une approche jazz avec les sonorités du Cap Vert, scattant et caressant les mélodies de sa voix sensuelle et énergisante. Passant aisément de la mélancolie à l'allégresse, sur scène plus que nulle part, Carmen Souza nous fait profiter de sa joie de vivre communicative. . www.carmensouza.com www.twitter.com/carmensouza.com www.facebook.com/carmensouzaofficial Carmen Souza Management.: patricia.pascal@carmensouza.com 0044(0)7799500179
