Mar 11, 2025

9:00pm – 9:40pm CT

The Crystal Room @ The Driskill

Orlas, named after the Portuguese word for "shores," is the father-son duo of Victor Chicri and Vic Delnur, blending samba jazz, bossa nova, and disco funk into a genre-defying sound.

Chicri, a maestro pianist since the '70s, has performed with legends like Gal Costa, Seu Jorge, and Bebel Gilberto, even sharing the Montreux Jazz Festival stage with Quincy Jones' orchestra. His productions have earned gold, platinum awards, and a Latin Grammy.

Vic Delnur, a multi-instrumentalist and producer, has toured globally with Water and Man and collaborated with artists like Sessa and Mahmundi.

Their debut LP, Viver o Mar, features 11 tracks and an eight-piece orchestra, with standout songs like Alagoas, Sabor De Você, and the title track. Guest vocals by Luciane Dom and Gabi Delnur add to the album’s richness.

Live, they’re joined by Sarah Maciel and Laura Pereira (vocals), Felipe dos Santos (bass/percussion), and Thiago Dom (drums), blending Brazil’s musical heritage with a bold, modern sound.
