Acoustic Brazil

Acoustic Brazil is an elementary school performance program which exposes the students to the different musical styles of Brazil. These include: SAMBA, BOSSA NOVA, CHORO, and BAIÃO. Through these styles of music, the students will experience the sounds of the CAVAQUINHO, the SURDO, the PANDEIRO, and the BERIMBAU. They will learn about each instrument and become a part of a Carnaval rhythm section called SAMBA BATUCADA.
This musical presentation includes Sulinha Boucher, Katrin Peterson, and additional musical guest(s).
