About this Event
Brasil Summerfest presents
Dendê & Band, Fogo Azul with Adriana Portela, DJ Greg Caz
Dendê Macêdo delivers ecstatic percussive incantations to invoke the gods of Afro-Brazilian Candomblé . For world-class percussionist and singer Dendê Macêdo, music bridges the chasm between the earthly and heavenly planes — a conversation between matter and spirit, and a life-enriching communion with the divine that he strives to share with his audiences. All female Afro-Brazilian ensemble Fogo Azul is joined on stage by Adriana Portela, Bahian percussionist and leader who challenged gender norms and led the very first all female bloco-afro in Brazil with her group Banda Dida. Local DJ hero Greg Caz will play in between sets to keep this explosive night going.
