„Brazilian Night“ is a formation around Lisa Wahlandt and Andrea Hermenau. The two have picked out songs by Milton Nascimento, Maria Gadu, Ivan Lins, and also some gems from the 60s, from João Gilberto to Tom Jobim for this evening. Música Popular Brasileira meets Bossa Nova.
„She is casual, relaxed, and sexy, her voice extraordinary, delicate, full of warmth, passionate, and yet also playful. Lisa Wahlandt enchants her audience with her voluminous power, playful expression, rhythmic brilliance, and impressive intonation. Her voice is rich in color, her musicality striking, her passion for jazz captivating.“ (Süddeutsche Zeitung)
„The sensitive Munich pianist and singer Andrea Hermenau (…) is one of the new German „Fräuleinwunder“ (female prodigies) who is currently grinding away at the male bastion of jazz. What has been condensed over the years comes together here: the harmonically adept, melodically sustained piano playing; the very soft and beautiful singing, which concentrates more and more on the essentials; and finally the astonishingly rhythmic feeling of Andrea Hermenau, who once also performed as a percussionist.“ (Süddeutsche Zeitung)
