Georgia Mann presents an informal late-night music and poetry event featuring emerging UK talent. Tonight, hear music from Caravela with poetry from Amy Key.
With feet planted firmly in the traditions of Afro-Brazilian music, Caravelas heart is full of the soaring creativity and fervour that comes with improvised jazz. Weaving impressionistic Portuguese melodies around vibrant South American and West African-inspired rhythms, their music is sensitive and full of passion, energy and life. Like the vessels they take their name from, Caravela are setting out to explore territories unknown. Uncovering music that others have left behind or simply long-forgotten, theyre giving a new voice to beautiful songs that should not remain silent.
Amy Key has published one book of poems; Luxe (Salt, 2013) and two pamphlets Instead of Stars (tall-lighthouse, 2009) and History (If a Leaf Falls Press, 2016).
