About The Tropical Dance Sextet
Grace Rigby has a natural talent for singing Latin songs. Her polished vocals are a result of her totally owning a song; acting it out as well as delivering a very special vocal performance. Grace also sings with the UQ BIG BAND, the Braben Jenner Hot Five and her own quartet Grace Rigby and the Straight A’s.
Eddie Gazani, born in Rio de Janeiro, spent much of his youth in Italy. A fine guitarist, singer, composer and writer, Eddie is a master of the Brazilian/Italian musical cross-genre.
Kay Sullivan plays an Italian Scandalli accordion superbly well. She demonstrates her sophisticated empathy with Brazilian and European popular music refined through many performances in choro, forro’, bossa-nova and jazz manouche style.
Italian-born Roberto Fontana really makes his trumpet speak with his mellifluous, well-crafted sound and exciting solos, making it easy to understand why Roberto is such an in-demand performer in Brisbane and South-East Queensland.
Nico Iaia, originally from Brindisi, Sothern Italy, plays unpretentious, motivating percussion and lends his rich vocals to several of the songs in the Tropical Dance Sextet repertoire.
Musical Director Peter Freeman arranges all the band’s songs and underpins each performance with his dynamic bass.
This will be a memorable concert from a group of highly acclaimed musicians.
