Jazz at the J: Gafieira Rio Miami
This event has passed.
Experience the energy of Brazilian big band music in an intimate theater setting during an evening that blends cultural traditions with contemporary sound. Jazz at the J: Gafieira Rio Miami returns on Thursday, April 10 at the Alan & Diane Lieberman Theater, located at the Michael-Ann Russell JCC.
The performance features an 11-piece ensemble that fuses traditional samba percussion with a vibrant horn section and the expressive vocals of Isa Duarte. Rooted in samba de gafieira—a style of ballroom dance music popularized in mid-20th century Rio de Janeiro—the group’s sound incorporates elements of samba, jazz and soul to create a modern take on a classic genre.
Tickets are $25 and include complimentary beverages and parking.
