The Orquestra de Jazz do Algarve will perform at Passeio das Dunas, in Quarteira, on Monday, August 15, at 22:00 pm, for a concert that will have the beach as a backdrop and the warm rhythms on stage.

From South America to the Caribbean, “Latin Flavors” join the Orquestra de Jazz do Algarve with the voice of Luanda Cozetti (Brazil) and the percussion of Osvaldo Pegudo (Cuba).

The program promises a journey through the musical wealth that this region of the world bequeathed, especially throughout the XNUMXth century, with its contagious rhythms. Be it Samba, Bossa Nova, Son, Montuno or Salsa, the rhythm and joy will be a constant.

The concert in Quarteira has free admission.
