The big event was a resounding success! Last night’s ICBIE Roman benefit featured Marlene and the trio Nó de Marinheiro performing on the eighth floor of the ritzy Regina Palace Hotel. With gorgeous weather and a spectacular view of the city, a great crowd of friends and music lovers converged for the special occasion. Tiziana de Angelis, a fine singer and a member of ICBIE Europa Onlus, also took the microphone for a song.
For those Roman friends who missed this wonderful event, here’s some good news: there will be another performance on Wednesday night, July 6th, as part of the Festival Estemporanea, promoted by Beba do Samba at the Casa Internazionale delle Donne in Trastevere (via S. Francesco di Sales 1a).
Finally, for friends far away from the Eternal City, there are now three short videos of the performance at Beba do Samba last week:
