His voice has a texture like heavy cloth”. (Songlines Magazine)“Mario Bakuna, a man who exudes music. (…) ‘vocals’ doesn’t begin to do him justice: his expressive range and the precision with which he was able to deploy it was truly the band’s fifth instrument. (…) And he did this while playing guitar with precision and finesse. (…) his solos were a further source of amazement, his technique somewhere between finger-picking style and classical. His solo introduction to a Baden Powell number made a hash of any attempt at a definition.” -(he Whitman Review, Wakefield Jazz)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P5YmfymgVSohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qagjggKebiwhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RkBc2BjPg_o - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/london/tribute-to-joão-gilberto-by-mario-bakuna-bossa-nova-night/100001984131575955 - **Event Categories**: music, entertainment, live-music, art, concerts, festivals, performances, jazz - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 13.7, max: 13.7, currency: GBP ## Event venue details - **city**: London - **state**: EN - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: Bull's Head - **lat**: 51.4737891 - **long**: -0.2510368 - **full address**: Bull's Head, 373 Lonsdale Road, London, United Kingdom ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Tribute to João Gilberto by Mario Bakuna - Bossa Nova Night - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events3/banners/183d329b5f1028179fd1cbae54b91eb7bb8d608ea92b1ba19be5e16217e2de45-rimg-w1200-h801-dc020404-gmir.jpg?v=1772799230 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Tribute to João Gilberto by Mario Bakuna - Bossa Nova Night being held? - **A:** Tribute to João Gilberto by Mario Bakuna - Bossa Nova Night takes place on Sat, 25 Apr, 2026 at 08:00 pm to Sat, 25 Apr, 2026 at 10:00 pm at Bull's Head, 373 Lonsdale Road, London, United Kingdom. - **Q**: Who is organizing Tribute to João Gilberto by Mario Bakuna - Bossa Nova Night? - **A:** Tribute to João Gilberto by Mario Bakuna - Bossa Nova Night is organized by Telecoteco Productions. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
