The series Da Pá Virada sessions presents the best musicians of contemporary Brazilian jazz, and beyond. Filmed in Sao Paulo, each session offers a unique experience by giving a fresh look into Brazil's music scene. The artists for each session are selected in consultation with Stingray DJAZZ's music editor. One of the bands taking part in this series is Quartabe, a unique Brazilian quartet that has influences ranging as widely as the Sao Paulo avant-garde movement, free improvisation, pop, and electronic music, which all get their due share in the band's exhilarating live performances. Joana Queiroz (tenor sax and clarinets), Maria Beraldo Bastos (clarinets), Mariá Portugal (drums), and Chicao (keys) compose, arrange, improvise, and sing music that's wholly their own.
