A LATIN band is promising to get people on their feet and dancing with a night of Brazilian music.

The Jazz Jurassica team is putting on a series of shows with a variety of Latin, funk and jazz music at the Marine Theatre in Lyme Regis this autumn.

Latin band, Orpheus, will be performing the first show on Thursday, October 21 at 7.30pm.

The six-person band is fronted by singer Annika Skoogh. She said: “I’ve learnt to sing in Portuguese as Brazilian music just doesn’t sound right in any other language. Capturing the right 'feel' is important.

“You can expect a variety of tempo and styles. From intimate bossas to uptempo sambas, some in English, some in Portuguese. There’ll be shimmying and hip-swaying. And maybe an audience sing-along.”

The event will kick off the band’s south west tour and launch their debut CD, 'Crickets Sing for Ana-Maria'.
