Nessa V played a CD release party for her debut Aché last Thursday night (June 3) at Fortune Sound Club. The Vancouver artist’s set veered from straight-up Top 40 mainstream dance tunes like “Show Me Watcha Got” and the sexy “Salty” to some more exotic tunes and performances drawing on the Canadian-born, Vancouver-based singer’s Brazilian heritage (Nessa V has also toured as a lead singer of Vancouver’s Aché Brasil). The full-on show included DJs, percussionists, keyboardist Jen Lewin, backup singers, capoeira (including some moves by Nessa V herself), feathered carnivale-type outfits and more costume changes than a Cher concert.
