Os Clavetitos are fantastic!

We hired Os Clavelitos for my mother’s milestone birthday party. The setting was a summer afternoon, pool side. From the very beginning of the booking process through to the performance, they were absolutely professional and a delight to work with. Anthony was very communicative, organized and solicitous of our needs from the very beginning our dialogue. They arrived early and set-up their equipment well in advance of the start time. This was much appreciated as it allowed us to focus on all the other elements of the event.

As soon as they started performing, we knew it was the right decision. They were absolutely fantastic. They read the room perfectly taking cues on the start time, volume and energy level. The lead vocalist, Atlanta, was fantastic, always upbeat, smiling and engaging with our party. During their breaks they were open and engaged with our guests in a delightful way. Their music was the perfect choice for our dinner event with the sparkling sounds of samba and Brazilian jazz. We’ve received rave reviews from our guests.

The ultimate 5 star review is that we would hire them again in a heartbeat, without hesitation!

Get up and dance with moving Brazilian music

Precise rhythms, airy and clean vocals, and crisp authentic guitar moved our guests from seats to dancing with little encouragement. From NYC, this professional ensemble was easy to work with. A conga line spontaneously spawned, the women got up and challenged the men to a dance off, the children spun and smiled... a pleasant event with a great group of people!

Get up and dance with moving Brazilian music

Such a nice group to work with! Beautifully complex rhythms, lighter than air vocals, and precision guitar work made this group a wonderful addition to our event! Our party got up and danced with the contagious movements of the Music. Marvelous! A great background music ensemble for a dinner party or a center of attention showcase.

Os Clavelitos made our wedding anniversary perfect!

Anthony, Atlanta and the entire band made our Bossa Nova themed anniversary celebration absolutely wonderful. We got so lucky being introduced to them via GigSalad - and we are forever grateful for their commitment to making our day truly special. Do not hesitate to hire this extraordinary band - they give their all, commit to ever song and look absolutely stunning while performing. Thank you so much, Os Clavelitos!

What to expect

Os Clavelitos' music is highly rhythmic, energetic, and rich in harmony and melody. The band performs original music that blends Brazilian rhythms with English lyrics, as well as Brazilian classics sung in Portuguese; with compositions by Ary Barroso, Vinicius de Moraes, Antonio Carlos Jobim, Dorival Caymmi, Baden Powell, Milton Nascimento and more! Os Clavelitos generates excitement in their shows, by performing batucada (a percussion ensemble) and is joined by samba dancers from time to time. Above all, Os Clavelitos loves to get the audience up and dancing! Os Clavelitos make a welcoming, big-hearted sound, inviting you to their samba parade, where we are all 'Arriving' joyfully home in our shared humanity.
