Three Italian musicians managed to find each other here in Kunming and put together this Bossa group.
Bossa Nova is originally from Brazil, but the music genre is spread all over the world.
The music invites to dance, laughter, food and drinks out on the streets.
It’s the Latin American way for Re Nao!
This concert will be all about remembering the warm summer breeze and having a good time!
Our T-café will especially for this event serve you all kinds of drinks (with or without alcohol) to really good prices.
The first drink is included in the ticket price and the second drink you buy is half price!
So put on your colourful dress or Hawaiian shirt and join our Bossa night!
