Eliza and Lukaz Wheaton in a Tribute Show to João and Astrud Gilberto

Over half a century ago, Bossa Nova came to the United States, and has stayed in the consciousness of music fans. Our local singer, Eliza Wheaton, with her brother, pianist Lukaz, perform some of the great Bossa Nova hits. The act is named after one of those hits, Corcovado at Midnight, composed by Carlos Antonio Jobim. Catch the performance Sunday September 20 at Icehouse in Minneapolis at 5pm. Doors open at 3. When Eliza and Lukaz talked to Phil Nusbaum about the show, they first talked about the family’s special connection with Bossa Nova and Brazil.
