"The vibe is exhilarating" Manchester Evening News ****
"Adewale's compositions are simple but uncliched...It's beautifully recorded." The Guardian ***
"Adewale boasts an imposing collection of firepower yet deploys it with rare restraint" The Times
CHORINNHO FOR CARNIVAL
Canning House is proud to host Adriano Adewale Trio performing Chorinho to celebrate the Brazilian carnival, bringing the roots of the Samba but with a contemporary taste.
THE ADRIANO ADEWALE TRIO
The percussionist Adriano Adewale will be performing with two very special guests, his fellow musician composer and multi instrumentalist Marcelo Andrade and composer and guitarist Jonathan Preiss. The concert will be featuring the works of Afro-Brazilian composer Pixinguinha, 1897-1973. Pixinguinha lived in Rio de Janeiro and wrote mainly in a style called Chorinho, he was one of the first composers to incorporate Jazz and Improvisation into Brazilian music. Chorinho has many similarities with Baroque music, however with a Brazilian rhythm and flavour added to it. Passionate, virtuoso, challenging, charming and fun, this is a concert which will show and make you feel the essence of Brazilian music.

Canning House is pleased to announced "The Belize Hall", a new space for exhibitions of paintings by established and up-and-coming artists from Latin America, Spain and Portugal.
The first exhibition is dedicated to the work of the late painter Fernando Montes (1930-2007); one of Bolivia's most distinguished artists.
Fernando Montes was born in La Paz, Bolivia in 1930. His work is inspired by the relationship between mankind and the Earth, as seen in the High Andes; it is a meditation on the place of the human being before the immensity of nature, infinite time and space. Montes exhibited widely in Europe, the Americas and the Far East. Group shows included the 48th Venice Biennale, the Museum of Modern Art and UNESCO in Paris, LINEART in Ghent, KIAF in Seoul and the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition. From 1960 until his death in 2007, he lived and worked in London.
Paintings can be viewed between 10am to 6pm, Monday to Friday.
