Are you a fan of bossa nova? Bebel Gilberto, daughter of Brazilian superstar Joao Gilberto, along with four other jazz stars will be performing in two free outdoor concerts on November 14th and 15th at The Catalina Hotel 1732 Collins Ave, Miami Beach, FL 33139 | (305) 674-1160. The appearances are part of the Miami Nice Jazz Festival, now in its third year partnering with Miami’s sister city Nice. And if you want to hear the music in comfort, VIP tables are available for reservation.

Here’s the rundown:

 On Friday, November 14th, the headliner is Latin Grammy Award Winner JORGE MORENO.Moreno’s music hints at 60’s Brit-pop and the sound of the classic Latin crooners, jumps forward to alternative rock, electronica and then back again.There are crisp dance beats and lush tropical grooves that are “So Miami”.

The following night, Saturday, November 15th, The lineup includes DJ OIL, AKIN YAI, DINNER AT THE THOMPSONS, and BEBEL GILBERTO (below singing her hit, So Nice).

Born in Ouidah, Benin (West Africa) Akinlola Yai began his music career recording with the group CYNE with which he recorded several albums then transitioned to a solo career. Musically Akin Yai has collaborated with artists such as Daedelus, Fourtet, Nujabes, and Robert Lippok (To Rococo Rot). He’s set to release his debut solo album any day now on indie French label EAW.

The Franco-American group Dinner At The Thompsons was originally meant to be a collective of 11 musicians but shortly after their first gathering producer & multi instrumentalist, FabLive, decided that the project would take too long to put into action and would be more efficient as a duo. Comprised of himself on MPC and electric bass and New York born, California raised singer, Lucille Tee on vocals/keys, they boast a variety of genre swapping tracks that showcase the duo’s penchant for the creative.
