Renowned Brazilian singer Vanessa da Mata will perform with the Macao Chinese Orchestra in a special concert at the Macao Cultural Centre Grand Auditorium on 15 November. The fusion between Brazilian and Chinese music forms a highlight of the 7th Encounter in Macao, a Sino-Lusophone arts festival.
The performance will be led by the orchestra’s music director Zhang Lie. Da Mata’s songs will be arranged for Chinese musical instruments in what’s being billed as a perfect fusion of Brazilian and Chinese music.
Da Mata is a Latin Grammy Award-winning singer and songwriter who is a celebrated figure in Música Popular Brasileira, a genre known for blending traditional Brazilian rhythms with international influences like jazz and rock.
