Event Description

Rio de Janeiro native Mauricio Pessoa is a 34 year old singer-songwriter emanating from the current crop of young Brazilian music artists. Mauricio’s original compositions are influenced by the classic Bossa Nova and MPB (Música Popular Brasileira) music of composers such as Antonio Carlos Jobim, Chico Buarque, João Gilberto, Paulinho da Viola and other Brazilian greats.

Mauricio’s new album, HABITAT, is a transcontinental trip through diverse rhythms, sounds and themes, that reflect the Brazilian landscape drawing inspiration from Pessoa’s experiences travelling back and forth to Brazil.

One of the most popular summer festivals in the city, Brasil Summerstage hosts about 9,000 people during a week of diverse celebration: samba, forro, bossanova, maracatu, manguebeat, hip-hop & baile funke among others.
