About this concert
Barbara Stanisława Trzetrzelewska, better known as Basia (born 30 September 1954), is a Polish singer-songwriter and recording artist noted for her Latin-inspired jazz-pop music. She began singing professionally in various Polish bands from the late 1960s throughout the 1970s, then relocated to the UK in 1981. She rose to fame as a singer in the British trio Matt Bianco. By 1986, Basia and her band mate Danny White had left the group to focus on her solo career. She signed on with Epic Records and enjoyed a successful international career between 1987 and 1995, particularly in the USA where her first two albums Time and Tide and London Warsaw New York were platinum-certified, million-unit sellers. During that period, her biggest hits were `Time and Tide`, `New Day for You`, `Promises`, `Baby You`re Mine`, `Cruising for Bruising`, and `Drunk on Love`. She had also built up a fan base in Japan and the Philippines. She took a lengthy hiatus due to personal tragedies, then made a comeback to regular recording and performing in the late 2000s. She currently releases her music through independent labels.

Basia Biography
There is more than one artist or group with the name Basia.
Polish singer Basia (Barbara) Trzetrzelewska (pronounced: Basha T'she-t'she-lev-ska), born September 30, 1954, in Jaworzno, made a successful music career in jazz-pop crossover circles during the late 1980s and early 90s, particularly in the United Kingdom, United States, and Japan. She is noted for possessing a wide vocal range, approximately three octaves that span the contralto to soprano fachs, and her music is characteristically brazilian influenced. Though she has two platinum albums to her credit and a faithful fan base, she dropped out of the industry in 1998. However, resurfacing in 2004 with her longtime collaborator and writing partner, Danny White (younger brother of jazz guitarist Peter White) and Mark Reilly, the trio reformed the British cocktail-pop group Matt Bianco as the original lineup, which was met with critical success.
"Basia" is also the name of a folk band from Hamburg, Germany. The group existed in 1975. Their most popular members were Raymond Voss and Klaus Büchner, who later founded and Klaus & Klaus.
This band created folk music interpretations of Edgar Allan Poe's work in German and performed this music in the Ernst Deutsch Theater, Hamburg. Their most popular song is a version of Jimi Hendrix's song "Hey Joe" in Plattdeutsch. This song was published on the first Torfrock record "Dat Matscht So Schön" and is still performed today at their shows.
