SUMMARY:Mario Bakuna Brazilian Landscapes
DESCRIPTION:After a highly successful season performing at international festivals and prestigious music venues worldwide\, Mario Bakuna is delighted to bring his project\, Brazilian Landscapes\, to Fox & Firkin \nBrazilian Landscapes sees acclaimed Brazilian guitarist and singer Mario Bakuna and his band reimagine works by celebrated composers such as Marcos Valle\, Claudio Bertrami\, Rique Pantoja\, Gilberto Gil\, Djavan\, João Bosco\, Arismar do Espírito Santo\, as well as the forrozeiros Dominguinhos and Luiz Gonzaga. \nThis concert is the synthesis of years of inspiration drawn from Bakuna’s travels across Brazil\, where he immersed himself in the country’s rhythmic and harmonic diversity. From the arid landscapes of the Northeast – echoed in the driving choruses of Forró\, Baião\, and Xaxado – to the African heritage expressed in Ijexá\, the popularity of Samba\, and the refined elegance of Bossa Nova\, Mario Bakuna and his musicians celebrate one of the richest musical territories on Earth. \nMario Bakuna is a Brazilian composer\, arranger\, vocalist\, and guitarist\, bringing over 25 years of musical artistry to audiences worldwide\, currently based in London\, UK. Well known for his deep exploration of traditional Brazilian rhythms\, samba\, jazz\, and bossa nova\, Mario captures the spirit of Brazilian swing\, blending it with refined jazz colours in both his original compositions and fresh arrangements of works by iconic artists such as Tom Jobim\, Dorival Caymmi\, Paulo Moura\, and João Donato.

SUMMARY:Da Lata
DESCRIPTION:A high-energy fusion of Afro-Brazilian rhythms\, soul\, jazz-funk\, and trip hop. \nHaving just celebrated their 25th anniversary London’s original global groove trailblazers come to the Fox for the first time on the back of their acclaimed 2025 album ‘Edge Of Blue’. \nDa Lata’s Edge Of Blue not just a return\, but a new beginning\, North London tropicalia born out of the alchemy of longing. Never before have Da Lata woven their many strands so sweetly\, blending their diverse influences with the musical personalities of their extended family into a collection of songs that speak of struggle\, survival\, and ultimately hope. \n  \n \nDa Lata is the brainchild of producer Chris Franck and DJ/broadcaster Patrick Forge\, Da Lata emerged from the vibrant intersection of London club culture and Brazilian influence in the late ‘90s. They combine world-influences with the melting pot of their native city\, carving out a space that was equal parts sun-drenched and rhythmically global. \nKnown for deeply spiritually uplifting live shows and a long list of heavyweight collaborators\, from Tony Allen to Jhelisa\, Bernie Worrell to Mayra Andrade\, Da Lata’s return is both a homecoming and a celebration of one of the UK’s most iconic and enduring musical forces.
