Following her huge sell out show on Valentine's Day, the enigmatic singer/guitarist Anna Salleh makes a welcome return to Foundry616 with her wonderful show 'Brazil & Beyond'.

One of Australia's greatest exponents of Bossa Nova and Brazilian jazz, she has proven to be one of the most popular performers since her debut at the club in 2013.  Anna Salleh's 'Brazil and Beyond' is simply an intoxicating brew of exceptional beauty, irreverence and joy, a charming and exotic night of passion, music and fun not to be missed!

So whether you've heard her many times or this will be the first, come and be transported to the other side of the world by her gorgeous bossa novas and ballads, irrepressible samba, playful swing, cool jazz and enchanting choro, an utterly enchanting mix which also includes some surprise favourites.

Bossa nova is almost synonymous with romance and natural beauty …delicate syncopated guitar-based rhythms and low-key languid vocals designed not to wake the neighbours late at night in the Copacabana apartments that gave birth to this sound. From lovers at sunset to late night clubs; and from breezy sun-soaked beaches to Carnival, Brazilian music as a whole is about sensuality in all its guises.


Anna's honey-smooth voice and engaging lyrics captivate and seduce - with life, energy, sensitivity and romance.

More about Anna

As well as performing around Australia from Melbourne to Brisbane, she has graced the stage internationally from the Edinburgh Festival to the best jazz clubs in Kuala Lumpur and Rio de Janeiro.

As part of her musical journey in creating this unique concert, Anna spent time performing with local musicians in Rio, and sought out the wisdom of elders there to deepen her understanding of Brazilian music. The result is something very special: a real passion, love and respect for the music.

For those who remember Astrud Gilberto's 'Girl from Ipanema' this will take you back. But Anna shows there's so much more to the Brazilian music tradition than this.

'Brazil and Beyond' is boosted by a very good band of some of the country's best musicians! So whether you have seen this sizzling band before or not, make it down to the club for this memorable night of joyous music.
