In any case, during our stroll through the area, we stumbled into this really cute resto-bar / music venue called Favela Chic. They've tried to re-create Brazil's favelas in Shoreditch by placing all sorts of found items throughout the place, and adding different colored light bulbs. It all works somehow to give this place a good feeling.
After eating some of their delicious Pao de Queijo, we were getting ready to leave, but heard a sound check for a band that would be playing later on that night - Strangefruit. We were instant fans! Their sound is inspired by Bob Dylan and Billie Holiday, and the lead singer's voice is so mesmerizing. We ended up staying just to hear them...and I'm so happy we did! Check them out for yourselves....
My video (taken with a point and shoot camera) does not do them justice (but I really liked the song), so better yet, see their professional videos...
whoww that was very good....I like it..it sounded very different from music that I usually hear..and I like it..so Kool.
