The Colorado Brazil Fest is set to take place from Sept. 19-22 in Boulder, celebrating Brazilian culture and music. The festival will feature nightly concerts that aim to recreate the vibrant atmosphere of Carnaval, with samba music and dance at its core. The Boulder Samba School, a nonprofit organization dedicated to teaching Brazilian music and dance, will showcase their talents at the event.
Brazil, the only Portuguese-speaking country in Latin America, boasts a unique blend of cultures that sets it apart from Spanish-speaking countries in the region. Samba, a popular Brazilian musical style, combines African, Indigenous, and European influences to create a lively and rhythmic sound. The Bateria Alegria drum circle, part of the Boulder Samba School, brings together drummers of all experience levels to share their love of music with the community.
Local groups, along with artists from Brazil, will perform at the Colorado Brazil Fest, offering attendees the chance to immerse themselves in the rich traditions of Brazilian music and dance. Workshops, including samba dance classes, will be available for those looking to learn more about this vibrant culture. The festival aims to unite cultures through music and dancing, promoting joy, community, and a love of life. Whether you are a seasoned musician or a beginner, everyone is welcome to join in the festivities and experience the spirit of Brazil.
