Brisbane Multicultural Arts Centre (BEMAC) is prepping up for one of its last gigs of the year.

The View from Madeleine's Couch is one of Australia's finest Brazilian ensembles and helped pioneer Brazilian music in Australia. Its jazz, samba and bossa nova sounds are seductive and unpretentious as they underpin the beautiful and unmistakably lush voice of vocalist, Anje West. Now in its 17th year of performing, The View from Madeleine's Couch is a true innovator of Brazilian music in Australia where, before they arrived on the scene, there was little recognition or awareness of Brazilian culture.


The band's passion for its music remains undiminished and its unique sound enabled the band to, 'take coal to Newcastle' when it travelled from its hometown in Brisbane to concert venues throughout Brazil.

During this 'once only' show you will be mesmerised by a selection of stunning songs from the golden era of bossa nova and a vibrant journey through the band's award-winning original music. With Anje's beautiful vocals, in Portuguese, interwoven with Kym Ambrose's melodic vibraphone creating the hallmark sound of The View from Madeleine's Couch this is a night of discovery and awakening to this musical phenomenon.

With the experience gained since the band first formed in Brisbane to its travels and performances in Brazil where the opportunities for meeting and playing with famous Brazilian musicians helped perfect its superb contemporary interpretation of the genre. The View from Madeleine's Couch is one of the most exciting live acts to be seen across all types of music. Anje and Kym will guide you towards a growing awareness and stimulation for this musical experience as they effortlessly channel their untiring energy along with the music that will make the night one you will truly enjoy.
