Burlap and Bean
The Minas duo, featuring Orlando Haddad (guitar, vocals) and Patricia King (piano, keys and vocals), has been in the Philadelphia area for over 25 years. They've performed in all major venues, including The Kimmel Center, The Mann, The Academy of Music, The Annenberg. Their events at World Cafe Live have sold out. Minas has won "Best of Philly" twice from Philadelphia Magazine. and their latest CD "Bossa Nova Day" was indicated for 3 Grammy Awards. Minas will be performing originals from their 5 CDs (Blueazul Records), as well as Bossa Nova classics.
Orlando Haddad and Patricia King formed Minas in 1978 at North Carolina School of the Arts to bring Brazilian music to stateside audiences. They proceeded to play all over the eastern US before going back to their musical roots in Brazil, where they entertained, traveled extensively and recorded their first album, Num Dia Azul.
Today Minas is one of the most sought after Brazilian bands in the United States. Minas is built upon the duo's multiple talents as vocalists, instrumentalists and composers with an impressive grasp of the whole range of Brazilian musical idioms. At the core of any Minas show are the voices of the duo, which reflects two decades of vocal and instrumental blending. Warm and engaging, this magical sound becomes infectious when Minas adds bass, drums, percussion and horns to Orlando's guitar and Patricia's keyboards.
