Venue: DCU St Patrick's Campus (Room B118), Drumcondra, Dublin 9, D09 YT18

Featuring students on the BA Jazz and Contemporary Music Performance, curated by Ronan Guilfoyle

The music of Brazil is rich, melodic and among one of the most groove-laden music in the world. Blessed with a long tradition of great composers and songwriters, and a vast range of regional styles, the music has been hugely influential, moving far beyond its own borders to find a place in so many other musical traditions, including jazz and popular music

Outside Brazil, people often think of Brazilian music as being confined to Bossa Nova, but this is only one small part of the huge tradition of Brazilian music and Tudo é Bom explores many of these styles as well as many of Brazil’s greatest composers. Expect Baiãos, Partido Altos, Sambas, Xaxados, and above all, expect the joyous, infectious rhythms and grooves of Brazil played with an authentic feel, and a celebration of one of the world’s great music traditions.
