Overview

HEARTBEAT BRAZIL is a Full Immersion Brazilian Music Showcase featuring a stellar group of musicians who are trained in the traditions of Samba, Bossa Nova, Brazilian Jazz and Afro Brazilian rhythms - yet sound completely unique.

HEARTBEAT BRAZIL's presentation is an extraordinary, exciting event that captures the frenzy, energy and pulse of Brazil's streets and it's complex culture - with the strength and muscle of American music - masterfully blended together into a unique and accessible sound.

"To spend an evening in the presence of HEARTBEAT BRAZIL is to be magically transported to the center of Brazil’s musical soul." -- Cabaret legend Amanda McBroom

About

HEARTBEAT BRAZIL: Following the motto, "Community in Rhythm," “HeartBeat Brazil” is an up-tempo, Brazilian extravaganza with an tasteful light and video show – bringing the streets and culture and rhythm of Brazil to America. 

Featuring mostly original music in brazilian rhythm and harmony, as well as stunning covers by the great composers such as Ivan Lins and Caetano Veloso, “HeartBeat Brazil” has been often lauded for it's deeply immersive show experience. 
 
“Heartbeat Brazil” had inaugural, sold-out shows at “Typhoon” in Santa Monica and at Vibrato Grill and Jazz (Herb Alpert's venue) with extraordinary reactions from audiences and venues.
