BRAZILIAN GIRLS BRING MULTILINGUAL DANCE-ROCK to HELSINKI HUDSON

(HUDSON, N.Y.) – They are neither Brazilian nor all girls, but Grammy Award-nominated Brazilian Girls bring their singular, sophisticated, and catchy fusion of electronic dance music and world-beat styles to Club Helsinki Hudson on Saturday, March 7, at 9pm. The ensemble – three guys and one fabulous frontwoman, vocalist Sabina Sciubba – has recorded with David Byrne, Baba Maal and Angélique Kidjo, and has established a reputation as New York’s premier international party band. The rhythmically colorful group thinks nothing of drawing inspiration from a wide range of music, including bossa nova, dub, dance/electronic, jazz, easy listening and German Schlager. The overall vibe is ultra cool and ultra sexy.

SCULPTURES by BRUNO PASQUIER-DESVIGNES at HUDSON OPERA HOUSE

(HUDSON, N.Y.) – A reception for Caprices, a solo exhibition of sculptures by Bruno Pasquier-Desvignes, curated by R.O. Blechman, takes place at the Hudson Opera House on Saturday, March 7, from 5 to 7pm. The exhibition runs through Sunday, March 29, 2015. On view will be a selection of Pasquier-Desvignes sculptures made from recycled and found materials including wooden wine crates, cardboard boxes, wire hangers, plastic bottles, and bicycle wheels. Pasquier-Desvignes cuts and paints and reassembles whatever is at hand to create expressive and wonderfully detailed sculptures; for his animation film, “The Song of Roland,” he used corks and toothpicks, and he filled Grand Central Station in New York City and the Centro Cultural Borges in Buenos Aires with his Musical Bicycle sculptures.
