It’s been more than a decade since Djavan stepped on to a US concert stage. Far, far too long for his many fans north of the equator.

Djavan’s Earlier Tours
Were you in the audience when Djavan kicked off his earlier US concert tours?
Maybe you were in Los Angeles in 1998 when Brazilian Knights And A Lady was recorded live at Bill Graham’s Wiltern Theatre in Los Angeles with Patti Austin, Djavan and Ivan Lins.
Djavan returned to the USA in 2001, but seven years would pass before he stamped his passport to America once again. The date was June 6th, 2008 when he made his debut at the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts in Miami.
Back then, The South Florida Times noted. “Djavan’s musical style comprises intricate harmonies and original melodies that range from romantic ballads to jazz. Some of his winning tracks include a fusion of African rhythms, R&B, and northeastern sounds.”
Now, 12 years later, people are lining up for Djavan’s 2020 US Tour.

Why We Love Djavan
Perhaps no Brazilian singer has been more accommodating to American jazz fans than Djavan.
His natural Brazilian warmth and a jazzy, swinging spirit have proved to be irresistible to American audiences from his earliest albums.
And once you hear him sing, you’ll never forget it: Djavan’s voice is supple and sharp, his range matches his abilities, and his standout songwriting is fresh and uniquely Brazilian – in English or Portuguese.
Djavan was born into a poor family in Northeastern Brazil and his first band, LSD (Light, Sound, Dimension) was a Beatles cover band.
After heading to Rio in 1973, Djavan became a nightclub singer and began competing in festivals with his own songs in 1976. His unique guitar-playing and melodic voice helped earn attention and he recorded his first album in 1976.
