$Fail Better presents: Theo Miz\u00fa \/ Borges Machado$

If you can't afford to come to Brazil this summer, come to The Green Door on the 14th of August instead!
We are delighted to host Theo Mizú (São Paulo, Brazil) in Brighton with whom we unknowingly crossed paths on a Croatian ferry several years ago.
Theo Mizu's band has been on a world tour for the past 10 years (can we join?) and as it turns out the world is small - any (🦊3-2-1🦊) friend of Hatch Hatchell and Gnaroki is a friend of ours!
Theo's band will be joined by BORGES MACHADO - an experimental duo that works with improvisation and field recordings with Brazilian rhythmic and harmonic influences.
THEO MIZÚ
Coming from the vibrant streets of São Paulo, a band with a fusion of Balkan, Middle Eastern, and Brazilian influences is making waves worldwide with its infectious and danceable tunes.
Emerging victorious as the "Best Street Band in São Paulo" at the "Toca Aí" competition in 2018, surpassing over 200 competing bands, this eclectic ensemble led by versatile musician Theo Mizú has garnered international acclaim.
What sets the project apart is its ability to merge diverse musical elements, creating a rich tapestry of sound. Theo collaborates with musicians from around the globe, resulting in a truly universal musical experience.
Having performed extensively across Europe and Asia (tours in the UK, Western and Eastern Europe, Thailand and Japan) they have become a vibrant sensation in the global music circuit, captivating audiences of all backgrounds.

BORGES MACHADO
Duo Borges Machado is André Borges (saxophone) and Fernando Machado (guitar), both Brazilian musicians based in Brighton.
The duo’s repertoire is based in rhythmic and harmonic influences from their homeland. It brings a mix of songs from great composers of Brazilian popular music (Tom Jobim, Hermeto Pascoal, Airto Moreira) and well-known songs of popular domain, as well as some of their own compositions.
Samba, Baião, Salsa and Ciranda are some of the vibrant Latin American rhythms they use to invite the audience into a musical trip to Brazilian culture during their concerts.
