The concerts are part of the Brazilian Consulate’s ongoing promotion of Brazilian culture globally that has now taken a bigger dimension with Brazil’s back-to-back hosting of the world’s two greatest events, the World Cup and the Olympics in 2014 and 2016 respectively..
The Brazilian musical ambassadors comprise Tiago Bernardes, a composer and percussionist who plays different instruments; Daniel Filho (Uncle Chico), a general percussionist; Renan Junior, who plays different string instruments; Diego Garcia, the lead vocalist; Alcides Pereira, who plays all kinds of percussion; Mario Jorge, guitarist; Jaqueline Xavier, a dancer who has travelled all over Brazil and also overseas, showing her swing and talent as a dancer and Deiseane de Jesus, who is part of the famous Samba school called Imperio Serrano.
The band, which has been together for a while, is expected to offer the most typical of Brazilian music—the seductive rhythm of Samba.
