Renata Rosa & Emily Loizeau to Perform at MIMO Festival 2014 in Olinda

MIMO 2014 will present one of the most exciting artistic fusions of contemporary music on September 5 at MIMO Olinda at Seminário De Olinda at 19:00 (7:00pm). Brazilian singer and violin player Renata Rosa will join French-British songwriter, pianist and singer Emily Loizeau. Together they prevailed over geographical boundaries paving the way for common and unique bonds between the musical traditions of Pernambuco state in Brazil and European contemporary music trends.

This exhilarating fusion brings together indigenous rhythms of the São Francisco region such as maracatu, coco, cavalo-marinho, Arabic music and the music from Eastern Europe, French chanson (chanson française), folk music, jazz and classical music.

With acclaimed and award-winning careers, the two artists started their partnership during the performance “Terra” that was part of the “Duos ephéméres” project, which creates modern music for silent films and is promoted every year by the Louvre Museum in Paris.

MIMO Festival 2014 presents some of the finest acts in jazz, world music and classical. It takes place August 29-31 in Ouro Preto (Minas Gerais); September 4-7 at Olinda (Pernambuco); October 10-12 at Paraty (Rio De Janeiro State); and October 17-19 at Tiradentes (Minas Gerais).
