The Roda de Samba has become a tradition on our stage, a musical gathering where everyone is invited to join in the singing, dancing and playing. The host is guitarist Nelson Latif, who invites musicians from different parts of Brazil.
Trio Baru (20:30-21:25)
Opening act is the acoustic Trio Baru, featuring Nelson Latif on cavaquinho, the four-stringed instrument that is so characteristic of Brazilian music.
Roda de Samba (21:35 – 22:50)
Three phenomenal vocalists come to the fore in this musical celebration, where you can expect anything samba-related. Lilian Vieira celebrated international success with the Brazilectro band Zuco 103. The versatile singer regularly performs in smaller, acoustic settings as well. As a highly demanded soloist, she has collaborated with renowned ensembles such as the Metropole Orchestra. Born in Rio de Janeiro, singer Marcelo Café is one of the outstanding voices of samba in the city he now calls home: Brasília. Breno Alves represents the new samba generation, and at the same time he’s recognized as an authentic representative of the genre.
Choro Xadrez (22:50-00:30)
The style called choro is the predecessor to many Brazilian music forms. The intimate sounds of Choro Xadrez originate from the island of Florianópolis on the Brazilian coast. Here a circle of musicians formed that comes together every week in various formations. Co-founder and guitarist Álvaro Fausane will now bring a delegation to our stage.
