at Cavern Club in São Paulo
The singer-songwriter, a social media sensation in Brazil, blends bossa nova, jazz, soul, and the roots of her homeland, Armenia, in a one-night-only performance on November 27.
On stage, Arpi Alto explores jazz standards, Brazilian music classics, Armenian music, soul, and her own compositions, accompanied by a band of Brazilian musicians. Her repertoire is marked by emotional depth and an intimate connection with the audience.
Bossa nova holds a special place in Arpi's life, reflected in her personal and exceptionally elegant interpretations of songs such as "The Girl from Ipanema" and "Mas Que Nada."
The result is a dialogue between cultures: the rhythmic elegance of Brazilian music, the sophistication of jazz, the warmth of soul, and the emotional richness of Armenian heritage, all united by a common language of rhythm and emotion.
