Bossa Divas!
Ann Caldwell, Alva Anderson and Porto Seguro

Experience the enchanting sounds of bossa nova when “Bossa Divas!” brings together Ann Caldwell and Alva Anderson, two powerhouse vocalists and beloved fixtures of Charleston's jazz scene. Both artists are celebrated headliners in their own right. Their collaboration produces pure magic.
