Estampa invites audiences on a joyful, exciting, and ever-surprising musical journey
around the world.
This world folk jazz band, based in Brisbane, Australia features Rebecca Karlen on violin,
nyckelharpa, and vocals; Paul Henderson on guitar and banjo; John Reeves on chromatic
button accordion; and Samuel Vincent on double bass.
Never lingering too long in one place, Estampa evokes visions of Scandinavian midsummers,
Parisian laneways, South American sensuality, and the unbridled joy of improvisation. Drawing
on elements of Swedish traditional music, French jazz, and Brazilian rhythms, they create a rich
and distinctive musical experience for their audiences.
With their unique instrumentation, Estampa explores a wide range of musical styles, balancing
intricate arrangements with fiery improvisation.
Estampa has been selected as a Musica Viva featured artist twice, in 2024 and 2026. They
have performed at venues and festivals across Queensland and New South Wales, including
the Woodford Folk Festival, Orange Chamber Music Festival, Mosaic Festival, Le Festival, and
the Brisbane International Jazz Festival.
