Khaled Levy sings Chet Baker

On Sunday, Feb. 25 at the Performing Arts Warehouse Ramiro Levy, aka Khaled Levy will perform his new work "Khaled Levy Sings Chet Baker, Vol. 2." 

Few people know it, but without Chet Baker, the Bossa Nova would never have existed. Without Bossa Nova, so many other things would never have come into existence at all. Such as this project, for example. When Khaled listens to Chet Baker for the first time, everything changes: in "Khaled Levy Sings Chet Baker, Vol. 1," the artist emphasizes live performance by faithfully reproducing what used to happen at concerts.

In the new work, Khaled changes method by replacing the sounds of the electric guitar with those of the classical guitar, which, together with the voice, accentuates even more the intimism that is then the essence of Chet Baker's poetics. Once the recordings were finished, Levy refined the tracks by adding electronic sounds so as to highlight the differences between classical Bossa and more contemporary sounds.
