"The Girls from Ipanema" bring Brazilian lightness, jazzy elegance, and pure joy of playing. The singer Denise Krammer and the vibraphonist Bruna Cabral don't just play the tropical rhythms, they carry them in their blood. Their program blends the classic Bossa Nova, vibrant Brazilian groove, and improvisational jazz into a warm, colorful sound. Sometimes delicate and ethereal, sometimes rhythmically demanding – but always with that unmistakable mix of charm, virtuosity, and South American energy. They perform as a duo, a trio or a quartet with Brazilian percussion – it's precisely this versatility that makes their concerts so special: intimate, vibrant, surprising, and full of musical joie de vivre. An evening that shines like the sun, smells like the sea, and transports the audience directly to Rio de Janeiro.
"When you attend a concert from "The Girls from Ipanema" for the first time, you naturally have certain expectations. But what follows is almost indescribable! Two musicians who embody music with devotion and passion, lifting the listener to another plane of existence. For two hours, you dream of Brazil at its most beautiful, and when the concert ends, you're left with a wonderful sense of exhilaration. A fantastic evening that is absolutely recommended!"
