Sanny Alves, a Brazilian singers’ singer, a favorite of the country’s greatest musicians, and an acclaimed stage actress, will make a rare New York appearance at Pangea. A fixture in Rio’s most sophisticated boîtes, notably Beco das Garrafas, a birthplace of the bossa nova, Sanny has performed with a Who’s-Who of Brazilian greats, including Emílio Santiago, Leny Andrade, Ney Lopes, Mauricio Einhorn, Gilson Peranzzetta, Joyce, and her father, Luiz Alves, one of Brazil’s preeminent bassists. Arthur Verocai, the celebrated veteran arranger, chose Sanny to sing on eight tracks of one of his greatest albums, Saudade Demais (2002).

On her most recent solo disc, Ela É Carioca, Sanny and guitarist Marlon Mouzer offer fresh takes on the most beloved songs of the bossa nova era. Theatrically she portrayed a fabled Brazilian diva, Elizeth Cardoso, and starred in musicals composed by Milton Nascimento and a Brazilian samba master, Zé Keti.





At Pangea she and Vitor Gonçalves, one of Brazil’s finest young pianists, will offer a feast of Brazilian classics, performed with the authentic flavor of Rio.
