Roda de Samba ft. Lilian Vieira, Breno Alves & Marcelo Café

About Roda de Samba

The Roda de Samba has been a household name in the Bimhuis for years, a musical meeting that involves plenty of singing, playing and dancing. The host is guitarist Nelson Latif, who invites musicians from different parts of Brazil.

Trio Baru (20:30-21:25) The evening will be opened by the acoustic Trio Baru, with Nelson Latif on cavaquinho, the four-string instrument that is so characteristic of Brazilian music.

Roda de Samba (21:35 - 22:50) Three singing phenomena will be heard during this musical party, where you can expect everything in the field of samba. Lilian Vieira made waves worldwide with the Brazilectro band Zuco 103. The versatile singer can also regularly be heard in smaller, acoustic line-ups. As a much sought-after soloist, she worked with the Metropole Orchestra, among others. Marcelo Café was born in Rio de Janeiro and now lives in Brasília, where he is considered one of the most important voices of samba. Breno Alves represents the new samba generation and at the same time, he is seen as an authentic interpreter of the genre.

Choro Xadrez (22:50-00:30) The choro style is the precursor to all kinds of Brazilian music forms. The intimate sounds of Choro Xadrez have their origins on the island of Florianópolis on the Brazilian coast. A circle of musicians was formed there that meets every week in different formations. Co-founder and guitarist Álvaro Fausane is now bringing a delegation to the Bimhuis.
