Live Brazil is bringing direct from Minas Gerais, Brazil, the group Tambolelê. The band has released 3 albums and played with major names of Brazilian music such as Milton Nascimento and Nana Vasconcelos. They have toured in Italy, Spain, Colômbia and the US, performing and giving workshops. Formed in 11 years ago, the music reflects the black heritage of Brazilian cultural roots. Inspired by Afro Brazilian culture, the strong vibrant rhythms, both sacred and contemporary, have never been brought to New Zealand.
