Artist description The group performs a range of styles: from the Rio de Janeiro Carnaval marching drums of samba enredo, which lead acoustic and ear shattering processions, to the jamming samba reggae and axé of the northeast part of the country; from the mellow, easy listening Brazilian jazz, to the melancholic pagode and boot-stomping forro, all featuring traditional and original compositions. We also perform popular English-language songs adapted to Brazilian rhythms including samba-ska and Christmas carols.
