A few days ago, I came to know a new brazilian group - more like a crowd. considering they're almost 20! - called Orquestra Imperial. It integrates artists from different groups and different musical experiences - people like Rodrigo Amarante (lead singer from Los Hermanos), Moreno Veloso (Caetano Veloso's son), Wilson das Neves (famous drummer who worked with Chico Buarque and Elis Regina), etc.
The group intends to create the spirit of "gafieiras". A gafieira is a place where traditionally people from lower classes would gather around to practice some dances with brazilian music as background.
The true spirit of the group is better grasped "live" and luckily I had that chance this weekend on the lovely gardens of the Gulbenkian Foundation in Lisbon.
It was a lovely surprise to hear such traditional brazilian music in such a refreshing way.
To have a little glimpse of the band check it out here.
