Event
Information
Art2BeHuman presents Brazilian Rhythms Massaranduba brings the infectious sound of Brazilian Forró to the Stissing Center; led by accordionist Felipe Hostins and percussionist Gil Oliveira — longtime collaborators on New York's vibrant Brazilian music scene, with credits alongside Gilberto Gil, Caetano Veloso, and Bebel Gilberto. Forró dates back to the turn of the 19th century, born from the meeting of Portuguese accordion tunes and African rhythms in Brazil's rugged sertão. It's music, dance, and all-night celebration rolled into one — driven by the sanfona (accordion), zabumba (bass drum), and triangle.
Joining them is special guest Davi Vieira, a Salvador-born percussionist and vocalist known for touring with David Byrne and Carlos Santana, a decade-long run in Off-Broadway's STOMP, and voicing Armando in the animated film Rio.
Come for the music, and if you're feeling brave, don't be surprised if you find yourself pulled onto the dance floor.
