Just a quick note for those with a free afternoon today.
'Jesse Witney & Urukum' are playing the Valley Mall markets at 1pm today.
todays line-up is guitar, bass, drums and 2 percussionists. (possibly some of the members of Brisamba)
Jesse is a sickenly talented young guitarist in the vein of Gilberto Gill, Dejavan, Edu Lobo, Marcos Valle, Joao Gilberto (the older rhythmical Brazilian style). with the 'urukum' ensemble he'll be playing a couple of his folk/reggae/tropical crossover tunes and then some Brazilian classics (Palco, Ponteio, & a medley of Mama Africa & Mamae Oxum in Olodum style samba reggae) ,and an original Brazilian tune of his (very much in the Edu Lobo/Marcos Valle style).
He'll also be playing at Mel's party next weekend so if you want to check him out in advance, it's free entry to the markets, and the stage is outdoors.
see below for a previous blog that shows the Palco tune by Gilberto Gil.
