Hampstead Jazz Club Presents
Nayla Yenquis Group /Brazilian Jazz
PizzaExpress Live (Holborn)
PizzaExpress Live in partnership with the Hampstead Jazz Club, proudly present the Nayla Yenquis Group an international band playing MPB which literally stands for Popular Music of Brazil . Arising at the same time as the eclectic, innovative Tropicalia sound, MPB is a rich, poetic style that incorporates the sounds of both the Samba and Bossa Nova mixed with elements of contemporary jazz which has also contributed to the sound. Nayla Yenquis Group's repertoire moves from bossa to samba and partido alto combining those other foreign influences of jazz and soul, presenting some of the major composers of this style.
