Overview

Conjunto Guarajuba grew up on classic Brazilian recordings of the 60s and 70s that evoke the sea, sun and good life. The trio conjures a lush sonic atmosphere that is highly danceable and enjoyable to listen to as well. We play all styles of Brazilian music from impressionistic and romantic Bossas to swinging Samba grooves to the Caribbean cadence characteristic of the Northeast and Amazonian sounds.

Perfect band for us!!

Conjunto Guarajuba was the heart pulse of our memorial celebration for my mom. They brought a perfect blend of joy and love to the whole family and I highly recommend them! Thank you, I wish I had paid for them to play whole night rather than short 4 hours, their delightful music set the tone for a happy event.

Stellar amazing band, genuine great people

We held an event for my wife’s 40th birthday in S.F. of about 25 people. Conjunto Guarajuba played for us. It was awesome everybody loved it. Authentic Brazilian bossa nova and samba music. Felt like family came and played for us. Would 110% have them play again and again. Great communications in the lead up to the event too. Flexible and calm. Not needing a lot of handholding. Generous. All around great!!

Fabulous Bossa Nova Trio

Guara e Juba played at an intimate dinner for 25 close friends in a big barn in Napa and they were fabulous! A total pleasure to work with, super communicative and collaborative and completely elevated the event and set the vibe and the tone for the whole evening. Great repertoire of classic Bossa Nova music and sounded great. Plus just really nice guys. Highly recommend 5 stars!

The perfect ambience for our special day

The most beautiful Brazilian bossa nova jazz for our casual wedding. The band was cordial, punctual, professional, accommodating & played the most beautiful music for our special day. They were definitely a hit! Many wallflowers danced & the music set the tone for a casual, romantic evening. Will definitely hire them again, I highly recommend this band for any of your special events. :)

Additional booking notes

We will require 2 armless chairs with protection from the elements (shade umbrellas or heat lamps when appropriate)
