Review

booked SambaAfro for their event

For me, SambaAfro are one of the finest Brazilian bands in the UK today. They have the perfect mix of all the best Brazilian music past and present - Brazilian Jazz, Samba Rock, Bossa Nova and MPB (Musica Popular Brasileira). In Pilo, they have a great singer in the tradition of Jorge Ben, Caetano Veloso, Chico Buarque and Edu Lobo. Not only is he a great musician but also a young Brasileiro who knows and loves his musical heritage. With the addition of virtuoso African drummer Elias driving the band, the rhythm section locked down by jazz musicians Aron (piano) and Alex (bass), they are the perfect hard-hitting but also soulful small Brazilian combo. Ideal for big festival stages and small intimate nightclubs. I have booked them in the past for both and they have never come up short. Definitely worth checking out if you love Brazilian music.
