Description

In a special partnership with WPKN radio, we present Sambeleza!

Isabella  Mendes,  vocals  &  piano    Jeff  Fuller,  bass    Joe  Carter,  guitar  

Samuel  Martinelli,  drums

Sambeleza derives its name from two words: samba, the national dance of

Brasil, and beleza, Portuguese for 'beauty'. The group came into being in

2009 as the combined brainchild of vocalist and São Paulo native Isabella

Mendes , Brazilian guitar specialist Joe  Carter and jazz bassist Jeff  Fuller .

Together they had the idea to perform and pay homage to the great songs

by Brazilian composers - from past to the present  and add their own

originals to the mix. The group has performed widely in Connecticut at

festivals - including New Haven's International Festival of Arts & Ideas,

Hartford Library Baby Grand series, the New Haven Jazz Festival, and

Neighborhood Music School Twilight Tuesdays - nightclubs, restaurants, and

public libraries statewide.
