ESTAMPA 

Brisbane-based world folk jazz band Estampa is set to dazzle with their upcoming tour in June. Featuring the exceptional talents of Rebecca Karlen (violin and vocals), Paul Henderson (guitar and banjo), John Reeves (accordion), and Samuel Vincent (double bass), Estampa's performances are a lively mix of world music that transports audiences to different cultures and countries.

Expect to be immersed in joyful improvisations, intricate harmonies, and captivating storytelling, evoking visions of Parisian laneways and the sensual streets of South American.

Estampa will be performing Friday June 9 at Eudlo Hall, Thursday June 15 at Maleny Community Centre , Friday June 16 at The Majestic Theatre (Pomona), and Saturday June 17 at the Coolum Civic Centre .

Rebecca Karlen explains, “Our music is rooted in the traditions of French jazz and Brazilian Bossa Novas. Our shows leave audiences feeling like they’ve entered a 1930’s Parisian jazz club or the streets of São Paulo. We can’t wait to share our special style of world music with Sunshine Coast audiences.”
