Event Description

Brazil Summerfest presents Quarteto Olinda, heirs to a long line of performers from Pernambuco, a group that makes the traditional music of forró immediate and contemporary. Their incorporation of the violin gives their music a softer twist.

Following up, a performance by Pedro Moraes, whose first solo album in 2010, Claroescuro, put him on the map for rising brazilian musicians. Pedro became one of the leaders of a generation that´s been breaking grounds in brazilian songwriting, organizing and taking part in several collective projects, such as the “Brotherhood of Free Music.”

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