Poneke musician Julie Bevan began her musical training on piano, graduating to guitar as soon as she could get a hold of one. She fell in love with the music of Brazil after hearing the music of the great Brazilian composer and guitarist Baden Powell. This passion led to her receiving a CNZ grant to travel to Brazil to study Brazilian music.
It was in Brazil that Julie first began to composer music. She recorded her first composition ‘Saudades’ there in 2006 with pianist Alberto Farrah and trumpeter Dr Mike Ryan. In the ‘90s Julie founded her first band ‘Zamba Flam’ This was the first group in Aotearoa to specialise in Brazilian music.
