Celebrate Carnival of Brazil with Gafieira Rio Miami!
Gafieira Rio Miami fuses samba, jazz and funk in a traditional big band style that’s making a comeback with newer generations through the joyous and irresistible energy of the early 20th century Rio de Janeiro ballroom dance music known as “samba de gafieira.”
Gafieira Rio Miami is a new project created by Brazilian bassist and composer Diogo Brown. As one of the most in-demand bass players, Brown has worked with renowned artists such as Laura Pausini, Buika, Nouvelle Vague, Julio Iglesias Jr. and Tony Succar. In 2021, he recorded with Gloria Estefan on her Latin Grammy-winning album Brazil 305. Alongside Latin Grammy-nominated saxophonist Dr. Pablo Gil and Pedro Carrero, former principal trombonist of the Simón Bolívar Symphony Orchestra of Venezuela, Brown has recruited the best session musicians in South Florida. Vocalist Preta Egy, who has worked with major artists such as Anitta and Ludmilla, adds the perfect feminine touch to Gafieira Rio Miami, delivering her powerful and seductive vocals to fresh new arrangements of Brazilian songbook classics.
Live on the Plaza is a series of outdoor, socially distanced performances on our Parker and Vann Thomson Plaza for the Arts.
