This cold winter calls for warm music. After his sold-out debut at the Kitano in November, Manhattan-based French Mediterranean singer Pascalito will take his international band and musical melting pot to the intimate Miles Café for a special program. Performing with Brazilian pianist Luiz Simas, bassist Leco Reis and Cuban percussionist Javier Diaz, the “world chanteur’’ will present selections from his critically acclaimed new album Neostalgia and also pay a tribute to the legendary French jazz singer and composer Henri Salvador for the third anniversary of his passing. A cherished influence of his, Henri Salvador (1917 – 2008) was a pioneer in French Bossa Nova.
