The set list of this European Tour take place on their last and famous album called  Samba Preludio a melting-point between European Lieder songs and Brazilian tropical beat.  In a way never heard before, they charmed the audience from the first notes. The wonderful harmonies of Samba and Choro had flat throughout this mesmerizing evening.

Paula Morelenbaum and her tender and grooving vocal percussion floated over a piano accompaniment filled with electronic pulsations and a trumpet and beatbox elements. Unusual instruments in the Bossa Nova world, where Guitars and percussions take often a big place to build the beat!

Baden Powell, Vinicius de Moraes, Antonio Carlos Jobim, Pixinguinha, Villa Lobos, Chopin, Schubert, Schuman and Monteverdi were revisited that night creating a beautiful bridge between Classical and Modern music. It was a beautiful and warm night for this fusion of occidental lyric poetry and tropical groove.
