Brazilian Bossa Nova Concert at the Beatrix Farrand Garden at Bellefield: Boreal

Enjoy an incredible evening of Bossa Nova music at the beautiful Beatrix Farrand Garden at Bellefield. Please feel free to bring food and drink to enjoy during the show.

Bossa Nova, which means “new wave,” is a style of samba music that was developed in the late 1950s and early 1960s in the Brazilian city of Rio de Janeiro. Through the advent of Bossa Nova, Brazil was able to produce one of the most unique and enduring sounds in the history of Latin music. Bossa Nova is distinct from other Samba subgenres, as it consists of a mixture of soft samba based on traditional Brazilian music and rhythms, American jazz, and a new style of Portuguese lyrics.

This concert is free and will be a memorable experience for music lovers of all ages. 

Boreal is a band that plays Brazilian music in New York. With Mariana Barcellos on lead vocals and Gil Oliveira on percussion, both native from Brazil, joined by Timothy Hill on guitar, Steve Gorn on bamboo flutes and Gabriel Dresdale on cello, Boreal plays famous Bossa Nova tunes composed by Tom Jobim and Vinícius de Moraes, and other inspiring songs from various Brazilian composers.
