Summer Soul: summer festival?

After bringing Amy Winehouse in its first edition  (SP), the festival promisses to rock the cariocas with Bruno Mars and Florence and The Machine. There are still tickets!

That Brazil is in the route of big international concerts everyone knows. Music stars make sure to come and visit and right after swear their love to the brazilian audience also. However, not even the more enthusiastic could imagine that those awaited shows (late) would be part of the carioca schedule. The fact is that, 2012 barely started, and the fans are already looking forward for their favorite artists, such as Bruno Mars, Florence and The Machine and Dionne Bromfield – attractions of the second edition of the Summer Soul Festival, scheduled to 25/01, at HSBC Arena. To those interested, attention: there are still tickets available.

One of the highlights of the summer 2011, the Summer Soul Festival which started in the paulista capital presenting the muse Amy Winehouse , Mayer Hawthorne and Janelle Monáe (who also performed at Rock in Rio), will return to mark the beggining of the year, and this year the wonderous city will not be left out. Actually, beyond Rio and São Paulo  (24/01), the festival will also take place in Florianópolis (28/01). This second edition, the "summer event" will present again a debut line-up, with Bruno Mars, Florence and The Machine (that althought announced several times didn´t show up at the SWU festival), Dionne Bromfield and Rox. Brazilians, only Seu Jorge and the repertoire of his latest album, entitled Music To Barbeque Vol. 1. (what a mix).

For those who appreciate, it's a good opportunity to go check the hits of the star  Peter Gene Hernandez, A.K.A the famous Bruno Mars. With only two years of career, this boy has already won a Grammy and has been described "one of the most versatile and accessible singers in pop" with more than 10 million copies sold on his first album  - o Doo-Wops & Hooligans, with the single Just Way You Are.
However the really highlight of the Summer Soul Festival is the gracious Florence and The Machine. Lead by the peculiar vocals of Florence Welch, the english band that combines all sorts of genres, from indie rock, rock, folk and soul. Its music doesn't need comments.......

The music of Dionne Bromfield should be a surprise as well, for those who come to check the festival (a bit pricy) closely.  With only fifteen years, the goddaugther of Amy Winehouse sure did took advantage of the opportunities offered by the "soul diva" and, maybe it will even occupy that place in the years to come. If it depends on her talent, there will be no mistake. Since this little girl has already received several complimments and positive feedback for her first album, “Introducing Dionne Bromfield”, whose songs are covers of  R&B, jazz and soul. In fact, the record was debuted by Lioness Records, Amy's label inspired on the classic Motown. We really hope, that this young gal has learn a few tricks from her "godmother".
