Acclaimed Brazilian singer Marianni is scheduled for a series of three Saturday night performances (10pm, 11:30pm and 1am) at New York’s Zinc Bar, through February 6 to March 6. With a repertoire ranging from Brazilian Bossa nova, Samba and MPB (Brazilian popular music), to American favorites and some of her own compositions, Marianni returns to the New Your house that helped build her East Coast fan base. Marianni has performed live at Zinc several times since her debut album Swimming to the Moon came out in 2005.
