“MUSICA SERTANEJA” is a term for Brazilian country music. It originally referred to music from the Sertão (backwoods of Brazil), and musica caipira, from the late 1920’s, for decades kept among workers in rural areas. Not until the 1960’s did this genre of music start to gain an audience in more urban areas of Brazil, eventually reaching even the cosmopolitan South and Southeast. Today Musica Sertaneja reflects influences from American country music, Mexican Mariachi, as well as from Paraguay. By the late 1990’s Musica Sertaneja attained great popularity all over Brazil, due to charismatic duos and new arrangements appealing to young people. We at the Bay Area Brazilian Club are delighted to introduce this popular Brazilian music, already known and loved by thousands of Brazilians living here, with a wider audience in northern California. We have discovered an authentic band of Brazilian Sertanejos, “Mizó & Mizael”, who will be staging their West Coast debut for us. This unique part of our Brazilian culture will be celebrated as a night of Sertaneja music and Forró. The party will be a traditional “Festa Junina”, a festival occurring throughout Brazil in late June. There will be an abundant variety of typical Brazilian Festa Junina food and drink available. Hope to see you there! Obrigado! Advance tickets: $20.00

40 ANOS DE TRADICAO ONE MORE SUCCESSFUL CARNAVAL BALL
Carnaval 2008 was a night to be remembered.
Not even the rain that didn’t stop all evening long
diminished the enthusiasm of the crowd the filled the Gift Center. On the stage
there was a parade and a tribute for all those local Brazilian musicians,
artists who were responsible for making during these many years the most
historical and traditional Brazilian Carnaval Party in San Francisco. We had the
pleasure to have with us Celia Malheiros, Lisa Silva, Carlos Oliveira, Rosana
Brito of Birds of Paradise, the Calatayud brothers of Entre Nos, Aquarela
dancers, and the queen of many carnivals, Eunice Taylor and many others.
They all joined the local bands that playing a variety of different sounds and
rhythms of Brazilian music pleased everyone from the old generation as well as
the new generation.
The music didn’t stop with Entre Nós Band, Liza
Silva and Voz do Brazil, Forrófiando Band, Sotaque Baiano Big Band, the
astonished and colorful show of Aquarela Dancers, and the best Brazilian DJ in
Bay Area, DJ Ellen. The Bay Area Brazilian Club
would like to thank all the sponsors, supporters and volunteers who helped in
this big event. Obrigado,
