Specialises in Jazz and Bossa Nova
Karabà is a musical project that blends the atmospheres of jazz and bossa nova, with a repertoire ranging from timeless international jazz standards to pop songs reinterpreted in a smooth jazz style. Elegance, intimacy, and interplay are the keywords of our musical vision.
FORMATIONS
DUO
At the heart of the project is a dynamic and versatile duo
- SABRINA – piano, voice
- GIUSEPPE – voice, electric bass, flugelhorn
This duo fits perfectly into lounges, corporate events, and any occasion where you want great music and good vibes.
QUARTET IN TRIO
Their musical offer can also expand into a “quartet in trio” format, where the energy of a jazz quartet is distilled into a trio setting:
- SABRINA – piano, voice
- GIUSEPPE – voice, electric bass
- ALEX – drums
The trio brings a more vibrant energy to the music, keeping everything balanced and sounding exceptional.
WORK EXPERIENCE
Since 2021, the band has been performing in a variety of musical settings, both as a duo and in larger ensembles.
They started working regularly in 2023 with MSC Cruises, providing onboard live entertainment through duo and jazz trio performances.
They have brought their sound to theatres, festivals, lounge bars, restaurants, and private events, always maintaining a distinctive and refined musical identity.
