Highlights of the show:

Latin Soul had great moments tonight. One especially remarkable was the opening set by Carmen Lamarque and her recently released self-produced album ‘Live in Lima’.


Carmen Lamarque is a vocal jazz singer from Perú who has finally seen realized the all-artists-dream of having an album released. Good news is, then, that the general public is to enjoy now what some connoisseurs already knew for following her performances in small clubs in Atlanta or Milwaukee, where she resides at the present time. This self-produced album recently out in 2009 is a live performance in her home town, Lima, capital of Perú. The album is a collection of all-time great bossa nova classics such as ‘Wave’, ‘Chega de Saudade’, and ‘Garota de Ipanema’. The three of them were aired tonight in Latin Soul. You also may find ‘Agua de beber’, ‘Mas que nada’, ‘Tristeza’, ‘Gostoso veneno’ or ‘Nao diexa que te quiera’. All in the original languages. There are songs in Spanish and English as well. Not a problem for the high interpretative skills of Ms. Lamarque, who leaves proof of her versatility in languages and the power of her voice. The ensamble accompanying her, yet small, does a great job and even adds a Peruvian touch with the use of “cajón” (wooden box) at the percussion. In conclusion, an album doing a great review of bossa from an artist who very well could be the next great Peruvian jazz vocalist following the path she just started here.
