Presented in collaboration with Brasil Summerfest

Gafieira Rio Miami is a dynamic Brazilian big band made up of 11 talented musicians from Venezuela, Cuba, Brazil, and the United States, reflecting South Florida's rich cultural tapestry. Founded by native Brazilian and Latin GRAMMY winner Diogo Brown, Gafieira Rio Miami breathes new life into samba de gafieira partner dancing, a lively tradition that flourished in Brazil during the 1940s and '50s. Originating in Rio de Janeiro, gafieira dance halls were hubs of creativity where waltz, jazz, soul, tango, and samba rhythms merged to create a unique, expressive sound that defied social conventions and invited creative movement. As Brown shows, gafieira embraces a range of genres such as chorinho, pagode, and maxixe. The group’s repertoire includes gorgeous arrangements of classics by Gilberto Gil, Djavan, Alcione, Wilson das Neves, Moacir Santos, and many more.
