Duda Lucena, brilliant master of Brazilian music and pivotal force in Charleston's Latin jazz scene, joins Porto Seguro and Alva Anderson for an afternoon of originals and Brazilian standards. This second concert in Porto's 2025 series presents their collaboration in a variety of formats. The band joins Lucena for a set of his original tunes, Lucena and Anderson duet on Brazilian standards, Lucena plays his own favorites and Porto Seguro leads off with a set of their own.

"Duda Lucena, singer and composer from Recife, Brazil creates exquisite, romantic music, reminiscent of all the great Brazilian vocalists of the sixties who first introduced the rest of the world to Brazil's unique sound, but with modern freshness and originality."
