It should be noted that Blue Note is considered one of the most important jazz and world music venues in the world. It is a branch of New York’s Blue Note Jazz Club and has been described as the best place in Tokyo for live jazz.
Regarding the new trip, Jennifer Hicks explains that the main objective of this tour is to promote the Purahéi Soul project, show and represent Paraguay and the entire team that includes the collective work of the “Guarani Block”. Part of the clothing collection are pieces that the duo wears on stage, worked together with artisans from Carapeguá and Caacupé. The sample is a sensory experience where the fabric manufacturing process is illustrated and you can listen to the sound that is generated during the production of these materials.
In this new tour they will record all the material to later release an audiovisual of the cultural exchange of the 20 days of art in the Asian country.
Let’s remember that the duo began 2023 with a tour in Brazil that included the Recbeat festival in Recife, performances at Whiplash in Sao Paulo and Rio Vermelho in Salvador, all this in the month of January; and then they went to Uruguay in March.
Plans for this year include more travel and the release of a new single next May.
