On Tuesday, May 13 at 9 PM, the Gran Teatro del Banco Central in Asunción will become the stage where the unforgettable compositions of Amy Winehouse are brought back to life by her original band. Led by her lifelong friend, musical director and bassist Dale Davis, and featuring the powerful vocals of Bronte Shandé, this tribute promises to honour Amy in the way she truly deserves. More than just a concert, it will be an evening to keep her legacy alive and to celebrate the remarkable artistry she left behind despite her short life.
This heartfelt show, titled This is the Amy Winehouse Band, has already moved loyal fans across the UK and Europe. Its impact has been so powerful that it has led to sold-out performances at festivals and theatres. All of this stems from a mission that is as simple as it is meaningful: to give Amy her voice back through those who knew her best and brought her lyrics to life.
Amy Winehouse was a British singer of jazz, R&B, and soul fusion and one of the most powerful voices of her generation. Known for her iconic style and emotionally charged lyrics, she became a global sensation in the 2000s. Despite her success, she faced many personal struggles throughout her life until her untimely death at the age of 27. Though her life was tragically short, her talent turned her into a lasting symbol of modern music.
Amy Winehouse was not just another passing voice, she defined an era and left an unmistakable mark that knows no expiry date. Her passionate blend of jazz, R&B, and pop channels deep feelings of strength, pain, and honesty. Back to Black, Rehab, and Love is a Losing Game are not merely songs: they are raw emotions transformed into poetry and stories turned into art.
“This is the Amy Winehouse Band”
The concert will feature all of Amy’s most beloved songs, from her debut album Frank, through her Grammy-winning masterpiece Back to Black, to her posthumous collection Lioness: Hidden Treasures. As the cherry on top, the show will be enhanced by emotional on-screen visuals and exclusive behind-the-scenes footage. The goal is to transport fans into the world Amy created a world of joy, challenges, and scars that told stories far beyond the music.
Despite this, the concert does not aim to evoke sadness, but rather something powerful, joyful and vibrant. “Even though Amy is no longer with us, her spirit absolutely lives on through her band,” said one audience member at the Clapham Grand in London. Another shared, “I closed my eyes and felt like I was there again.” That is the kind of magic this tour brings to its audience.
As Amy’s songs carry such emotional depth, hearing them live is a powerful journey for many. Her lyrics are tied to memories: heartbreak, growing pains and late-night drives. Her voice opened a door for others to relate and to feel without shame. The chance to experience her music once more, brought to life by the very musicians who helped shape it, is like travelling through sound. It’s a night where Amy’s spirit steps back onto the stage, reminding us that while her time in this world was brief, it was deeply meaningful.
This is also a rare chance for a new generation to connect with Amy’s legacy in a truly tangible way. While her influence still lives on in fashion, film and the music of many emerging artists, this show offers something no other experience can match the essence of her original band and the soul of a woman who was a timeless icon of music.
