Accompanied by his quartet, Marcel Bonfim brings the show Farewell/Despedida. Marcel introduces us to his world of influences and experiences, ranging from Jazz to Brazilian Popular Music (aka MPB). Born and raised in Brazil but rooted in Chicago since 2015, the bassist shows us the interesting combination of both of his musical worlds. In his compositions Bonfim explores the double feelings about leaving his country and family, while simultaneously making new connections, establishing new relationships and discovering new ways to make art. The contrast, contradiction and duality found in each and every life choice we make, are the main source of inspiration. The realization and birth of this project is proof that the jazz community of the USA is open to embrace every musician willing to share his truth and spirit with others, proving that together we are better and stronger.
