Brussels Jazz Orchestra & Tutu Puoane
We Have A Dream
'The world-famous Brussels Jazz Orchestra invites South African singer Tutu Puoane for a second collaboration. After the success of their first partnership, the album Mama Africa (2011) for which they won a South African Music Award, among other accolades, We Have A Dream brings together a broad repertoire of songs from very different corners of the music world, all with human rights themes and dedicated to the struggle for justice, equality and freedom. Music written by artists such as Sting, Nina Simone, Joni Mitchell, Stevie Wonder, Rod Stewart, Marvin Gaye, arranged for this project by exquisite, experienced arrangers from the orchestra and beyond, including Bert Joris, Michel Herr, Gyuri Spies, Lode Mertens and Alan Ferber. The result is an exciting, engaging yet accessible mix of sounds and styles, with Tutus beautiful voice supported and surrounded by the bands signature sound, with inspired soloing from the band members throughout.
