This event, a collaborative concert by Brasil Summerfest, promises to fill the air with the vibrant sounds of Brazil, featuring a dynamic blend of samba, bossa nova, and Brazilian pop. It’s an invitation to experience the rich and diverse musical landscape of Brazil right in the heart of Brooklyn.
Adding a visual treat to the musical feast, acclaimed artist Noah Lyon will present his vibrant and thought-provoking artworks.
