About this program

The music from Brazil is as vibrant as it is diverse. Luciano brings light to some of the origins of Brazil’s vast musical landscape through his repertoire of original songs and traditional rhythms.

By interlacing each song with stories that provide artistic and cultural context, Luciano takes the audience on a journey where influences from Africa and Europe merge with Native culture, giving rise to the worldwide known Brazilian music and dance styles.

From flutes to strings and percussion to accordion, this is one meaningful cultural celebration not to be missed!
