Description was written before the event

Zuco 103 celebrates 25 years this year and released their tenth album, Mais Além, for the occasion.

The trio was formed in 1999 from a collaboration between Dutch drummer Stefan Kruger, German keyboardist Stefan Schmid, and Brazilian vocalist Lilian Vieira. Their sound - which they call Brazilectro - combines samba, bossa nova and jazz with electronic influences and groovy rhythms.

Tonight they perform at Xinix in Nieuwendijk.
