Poetic Latin Jazz
Sylvie Klijn – vocals & compositions
Paul Gonzalez – guitar & maracas
Samuel Boutros – percussion

VAGALUMES, fireflies in Portuguese, brings light and warmth with their music. Dutch singer Sylvie Klijn takes you on a journey to South America with her intimate compositions and moving voice. Her song lyrics in Spanish and Portuguese are based on inspiring creations by poets such as Fernando Pessoa, Alfonsina Storni and Pablo Neruda. Together with Paul Gonzalez on guitar & maracas and percussionist Samuel Boutros, the trio brings to life the world of poetic Latin jazz.
In October 2021, Vagalumes won the Coup de Coeur prize at festival JazzContreBand, after which they performed numerous concerts in Switzerland and France. With the support of L’Abri Genève, the trio recorded their first album, released in 2024 and followed by a tour in Switzerland and Mozambique.
