The word Brasa means 'ember', when the coal is red hot. This translates a lot about the soul of Brazil and its gigantic musical legacy. Led by keyboardist João Leão (Johny Lion), fresh from São Paulo's vibrant indie scene, and backed by two well known Toronto based Brazilian artists Mari Palhares (percussion) and Zeca Polina (bass), along with Canadians Max Senitt (drums) and Phil Miles (guitar), the ensemble delivers a fine selection of groovy and shaky classics with a focus on Brazilian Soul, Samba-Rock, and Tropicalia, covering some of the masters of the genre like Jorge Ben, João Donato, Marcos Valle, and Tim Maia, as well as newer indie Brazilian hits. The vibe is upbeat and the crowd can feel the heat of Brazil's ember, so be sure to bring your dance moves!
