Almanaque featuring Camille Bertault - Live

Led by Italian-born, London-based guitarist Luca Boscagin, Almanaque is an international ensemble bringing together outstanding musicians from Brazil, Italy and the UK. Inspired by the music of Milton Nascimento, Clube da Esquina and the tradition of Brazilian jazz, the band blends lyrical melodies, sophisticated harmonies and infectious rhythms into a vibrant contemporary sound.

At the heart of the group is a powerful Brazilian rhythm section featuring Matheus Nova (bass), Raphael Delfino (drums) and Jansen Santana (percussion), whose deep connection to Brazil’s rhythmic language provides the foundation for Almanaque’s music. Joined by acclaimed trumpeter Quentin Collins, the ensemble creates a dynamic dialogue between Brazilian, African and jazz influences, combining virtuosity with warmth, spontaneity and collective interplay.

Their latest album, Nada Para O Carnaval, released on Ubuntu Music, has received widespread acclaim. A regular presence on the international jazz scene, Boscagin has performed at Ronnie Scott’s on numerous occasions and has opened for artists including Eliane Elias, Mike Stern, Azymuth and Ivan Lins.

From uplifting samba grooves and Afro-Brazilian rhythms to evocative ballads and expansive improvisation, Almanaque delivers an immersive and joyful live experience, celebrating the energy and spirit of contemporary Brazilian music.
