 NEXT STOP: NEW YORK CITY, WITH PINHEIRO!
After a very succesful European Cd-relase tour with sold
out concerts in Amsterdam , Dublin and Paris, Fleurine and her band are planning their CD-release concert in the Big Apple at the Jazzstandard, a club Fleurine has
performed at in various configurations.
What makes this evening extra special is that Chico
Pinheiro, one of the 3 Francisco's Fleurine dedicated her album to, will be featured along side the rest of the band. Chico did not make it to the European leg of the
tour, but Fleurine is thrilled to present him and his gorgeous compositions in New York City in May.

Freddie BRYANT ( guitar),
Doug WEISS( bass),
Brad MEHLDAU (piano),
Erik FRIEDLANDER ( cello)
and a very important Brazilian guest: Guitarist Chico Pinheiro.
On this album- her fourth release as a leader Fleurine pays tribute, not to that great
California city by the bay, but to three like-named Brazilian composers. San Francisco is an ode to three outstanding Brazilian songwriters who happen to have their first names
in common: Francisco Chico" Buarque de Hollanda, Francis Hime, and Francisco "Chico" Pinheiro.

received the distinction from the hands of Amsterdam's mayor, Job Cohen.
War Child is currently reaching out to 675.000 children a year in 12 post- war countries.
Fleurine has supported Warchild since their early beginnings. Find out how YOU can become a Friend and help children in post-war zones cope with their trauma through a.o
