Two years in the making…come and join Brazilian music duo Sugar Loaf, for their ‘Nulla-Boa’ album launch at Lyrics Underground!
Welcome 7-string guitarist Maximillian Rudd from Melbourne during his Perth debut as he and flautist Asha Henfry team up for their long awaited album launch - ‘Nulla-Boa’ at Lyrics. Enjoy a repertoire of Brazilian choro and samba tunes inspired by the vibrant music and lifestyle of Rio de Janeiro. Joining Max and Asha are special guests: Ben Vanderwal - drums, Emily Gelineau - violin, Annalisa Powell - flute, Danilo da Paz - accordion.
To kick off the Sunday evening, and bring you another Perth debut, Melbourne based multi instrumentalist Amla crafts captivating soundscapes using flute, violin and vocal loops.

This will be an unforgettable night of toe tapping tunes, formidable musicianship and great South American vibes.
SUGAR LOAF -
Sugar Loaf is a new Australian duo devoted to the music of Brazil. Maximillian Rudd (seven-string guitar) and Asha Henfry (flute) are two of Australia’s most talented instrumentalists in the genre. The pair are united by a shared love of Brazilian choro - an instrumental style originating in nineteenth century Rio de Janeiro.
Sugar Loaf brings to life the textures and moods of Brazil’s musical golden age. Their intimate flute and guitar arrangements reflect both exuberant mastery and lyrical nuance. Having studied at prestigious Australian institutions, travelled extensively through Brazil, and learned directly from local masters, Maximillian and Asha offer an authentic interpretation of this rich tradition.
Their debut album, ‘Nulla-Boa’, is a raw and vivid display of their virtuosity, brimming with rhythmic fire, melodic warmth, and a heartfelt connection to the music’s roots. Wherever they perform, Sugar Loaf captivates audiences with their dynamic interplay and profound respect for the legacy of Brazilian music.
