Fri, Aug 31st, 8pm (doors 7), Nice Verdes - Indie tropical latin folk

Indie World Troubadours- Nice Verdes are set to tour B.C this summer, performing and Travelling together since 2003. Drawing from the sounds of Cuba, Africa, Colombia and more to create their own style of Rootsy Highlife

Nice Verdes are Sally and Jesse who have been performing since first meeting in Vancouver in 2003. They have performed and toured Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Europe and Guatemala and have studied music and dance in Cuba, India, West Africa and Colombia, continually honing their craft.

Always on some kind of adventure in search of new inspiration and music. Nice Verdes have swung in a hammock on a boat down the Amazon, hiked up mountains in the Andes, lived in a shack in West Africa with no electricity, danced in the desert at a rain dance, seen an Orisha ceremony in Cuba, bathed in ancient thermal baths in Budapest, slept under the stars in the middle of Australia, gardened on the slopes of the Mediterranean, swum in the Ganges, planted palms in the jungles of Costa Rica, enjoyed Tango in Argentina, caught numerous planes, boats, bicycles and hitchhiked to play festivals and shows around the world.

Having released three albums, ‘Succulence’ in 2008, ‘Brontosaurus’ in 2014 and ' Bouquet of birds' in 2016.

The music of Nice Verdes is uplifting and sunny original indie world. Inspired by the music’s of the world, they play combinations of Cuban tres, accordions, ukulele, guitar, harmonica and vocals.

They have always been drawn to collaborating with artists from all countries and they enjoy most of all the parties and festivals that celebrate a strong sense of community and equality in diversity.
