We celebrate the undisputed King and Queen of Brazilian jazz at Spiritland with Roberta Cutolo at the controls. For over six decades and numerous albums, Airto and Flora Purim have defined the Brazilian sound.
A long time heavy music head originally from Bari, Puglia, Roberta Cutolo is the creative force behind the new Flora Purim album released after 15 years in 2022 on Strut Records* which keeps receiving incredible public approval.
She is also behind the BBE Records five album Box Set, created in collaboration with writer Paul Bradshaw Director of Straight No Chaser magazine, praised by both Gilles Peterson and Benji B as best collection of the year 2023, also winning the Japanese TCR Award 2023 for best collection of the year.
Join us for some Brazilian sunshine in King’s Cross this week.

Lovie's music discovery was born in the digital music age: a young lover of local radio and after-school MTV marathons, her early mixes took shape in the form of burned CDs she made for friends.
In relocating from her hometown of Washington, D.C. to New York in August of 2020, Lovie's unique selection swiftly ushered her into New York's local music scene. Within a year, she'd earned a Lot Radio residency; and has since become a staple at notable venues throughout the city, a resident of the beloved Coloring Lessons by musclecars, and a cofounder of Brooklyn's sweetest party, Soul Connection.
Lovie's sets guarantee a sweet, soulful, and spiritual selection, as she interweaves soul, disco, and house into a sound that creates warmth, and makes you move.
