*Happy Hour Concert Series* featuring Brasinola

Brazilian Tropicália with a second-line pulse — samba, funk & psychedelia grounded in the feel of Frenchmen St. Brasinola plays the music of Brazil’s Tropicalia movement with a New Orleans rhythm underneath. The band draws on the late 1960s and 1970s heyday of that Brazilian sound — its blend of samba, funk, folk, and psychedelia — while grounding everything in the feel of the city where they perform. As bassist and co-founder Ron Johnson has put it, “the NOLA in our name is the foot of the New Orleans drummer.”

This performance is sponsored by Jazz Foundation of America, and features:
Danny Abel – guitar
Eduardo Tozzato – piano and vocals
Fernando Lima – percussion

Eric Bolivar – drums
