Over the past two years, singer Kjalar Kollmar has become a great admirer and enthusiast of Brazilian music. During his studies at the Jazz Institut Berlin, he has had the opportunity to become deeply acquainted with the genre and now plans to perform his favorite songs from that tradition. These include works by songwriters and performers such as Toninho Horta, Antonio Carlos Jobim, Elis Regina, and Chico Buarque. Kjalar’s own compositions have also been influenced by Brazilian music, and some of his original songs will be included in the program as well.
Joining Kjalar on stage will be a lineup of top-class instrumentalists. The band consists of:
Alexandra Rós Norðkvist – Percussion
Andrés Þór Gunnlaugsson – Guitar
Birgir Steinn Theodórsson – Bass
