LAMECK TRIO | TALES OF GIN & TONIC
Get ready for a cosy night of live music, storytelling, and great vibes.
Join Lameck Macaba, Marcinho Pereira, and Matheus Nova for a night of original tunes, as they perform together for the first time in a new acoustic project. Celebrating Afro-Brazilian music from their hometown of São Paulo, Bahia, the trio will perform original works by Lameck Macaba, whose music focuses on a dialogue between contemporary Angolan Bantu styles and Afro-Brazilian ancestry. Influenced by names of the Brasilian and Angolan music scene like Gilberto Gil, João Bosco, Filipe Mukenga, Bonga e Roberto Mendes.

TALES of GIN & TONIC
By Helena Hipólito
“A peanut was lying down,
quiet, looking to see what happened.
The old lady came and — zap — ate it.
And that is what happens to peanuts
that stay quiet, lying down,
waiting to see what happens.
They are eaten!”
Adapted and created for the stage by Helena Hipólito, from the works of Portuguese author Mário Henrique-Leiria (1923–1980). The tales were written while the author was exiled in Brazil (1962–1974), during the dictatorship of Salazar in Portugal (1929–1974).
