BRAZILIAN Latin JAZZ NIGHTS PRESENTS – DIVYARUP LATIN BAND (FEATURING ATAR SHAFIGHIAN)
The Divyarup Latin Band is a Latin/MPB/Samba/Funk group based in London, UK. The band’s repertoire consists of a wide array of well-known and loved Brazilian classics spanning the last fifty years, from Jobim to Djavan, all of which have been arranged specifically for the line-up. In addition to this, the group also performs exciting and infectious original material written by composer, singer and frontman Divyarup as well as composer Manu Pontes.
Recorded in Brazil and featuring some of the country’s finest session musicians, the band’s debut album Tempo de Luz, has been nominated for 5 Latin Awards in the U.K. With fifteen tracks, all of which feature blistering horn section and rhythm arrangements, the album really does offer something for everyone and can be streamed or purchased online (see below). Alternatively, come to see the band live and buy a signed CD!
The Divyarup Latin Band is based in London and plays every other Sunday at Made in Brasil Bar from 7pm in Camden Town. The bar features a wonderful restaurant so you can enjoy your Sunday evening dinner whilst listening to the band perform. There is no entrance fee.
Atar Shafighian is a composer, arranger, producer, and recording artist. Having released his debut album with Atar and The Funkadrome in 2005 (D Records, Notting Hill Music), he went on to form the band Royal Showdown whose album ‘Chapter One’ can be streamed on Bandcamp (see below). In 2013, Atar then released his first solo concept album entitled The Rise and Fall of Danny Chevron. Featuring special guests Pete Churchill, Mike Chillingworth and Richard Strange, the album combines strong influences from Steely Dan and Ivan Lins. It can be heard on Spotify or Apple Music (see below). In addition to his work as a musician, Atar has lectured in the fields of Harmony and Composition for the past fifteen years and is now currently training to become a lawyer.
