CANTORAS BRASILEIRAS
Brazilian Tradition and Beyond
Brazil’s deep-running musical legacy has adapted indigenous, Portuguese, and African forms into a hybrid that bristles with the untranslatable energy of modern life. Cantoras Brasileiras welcomes to Duke three heirs to this lush, 500-year old musical tradition.
The country that gave birth to Samba and Bossa Nova, choro's plaintive cries, and Tropicália's transgressive innovations, Brazil is the largest and most ethnically diverse nation in Latin America. It may also be the richest musical location in the world. Home to dynamic traditions and jaw-dropping rhythmic experiments, most of Brazil's music is a powerful union of both.
This three-part celebration of Brazilian innovation brings three commanding female singers to Durham: each is an artist whose integrity and vocal skills are matched only by her dedication to moving Brazilian music forward.
