Awarded with the Musician’s Company’s 2024 Silver Medal, and twice winner of jazz contests such as 1st Prize of the Rezzo Competition by Jazz a Vienne with her French band “Ninanda”, Ananda Brandão is a half French half Brazilian drummer who has performed throughout Europe and Brazil with iconic jazz musicians such as Rhoda Scott, Marco Lobo, or else Clélya Abraham to name a few.

Combining the strength of Brazilian rhythm with modern sonorities of European jazz, this will be a very special evening not to be missed.
