Inês Loubet has been delving into different styles of Brazilian and West African music from early on – although she was born in Portugal, her father is Angolan/Portuguese and her mother brought her up in the Brazilian musical and social culture. As well as playing Brazilian percussion and guitar, Loubet has been developing her sound with strong influences not only from her Jazz training at the Guildhall School of Music & Drama in London but also from her Portuguese roots.
Inês is a versatile performer who performs across a wide range of genres including Portuguese and Brazilian folk, Jewish Jazz, and contemporary music, sung in multiple languages. Inês has performed and led workshops all over the world and performs regularly in London’s top venues including the Vortex, The Jazz Café, Royal Albert Hall’s Elgar Room, etc.
Drawing from her creative journey, Inês’ debut album, SENGA is set to be released in May 2024 with Albert’s Favourite, a record label based in South London.
Tonight her trio will perform different rhythms from Brazil such as Samba, Choro, Bossa Nova, and Cape Verde such as Coladera, Batuk, Funaná, be sure not to miss it!
