Brazukas! The Band from Brazil, is a quartet from different regions of Brazil that play the diverse music of their homeland. Yes, these current and former grad students in the UofL jazz program will play some bossas and sombas, but they'll also play other traditional and modern styles such as Baiao, Afoxe', Choros, Frevo, Forro and Partido-Alta. And they'll tell you a little about this diverse music between the tunes by composers such as Antonio Carlos Jobim, Luis Bonfa, Milton Nascimento, Hermeto Pascoal and Gilberto Gil. This is rhythmic, happy music that will leave you smiling.
