To mark our 10th anniversary, Viva Brasil! expands to a weekend celebration of Brazilian culture! Tonight we celebrate the sound of sunshine! In Brazil, the word bossa is old-fashioned slang for something done with particular charm, natural flair, or innate ability. When it comes to Brazilian music, the first song that might come to mind is "The Girl From Ipanema" penned by songwriter Antônio Carlos Jobim and performed by singer Astrud Gilberto, guitarist João Gilberto, and saxophonist Stan Getz. That song is a flagship in the Brazilian genre bossanova, which translates to "new style" or "new trend." It emerged in the 1950s and 60s combining elements of samba—a popular music genre in Brazil—with American jazz traditions. We celebrate the great legacy of bossanova this evening, with a debut performance of renowned Brazilian pianist, Marcos Ariel.
Our annual mid-winter Carnival celebration is back, featuring concerts, dancers, capoeira, and more! Carnival dates back to the 1600s and is a celebration of Brazilian life and culture.
