Event Description
The Rogue's 'Brazilian Experience' for our Heritage Series concerts features locals Forró Do Cana along with multiple JUNO nominee Celso Machado. These musicians share together their love and dedication of sharing the richness and diversity of Brazilian music to their audience and beyond. Think good vibes, killer rhythms and catchy songs!
Vancouver’s premier Brazilian Forro band, Forró do Cana, was founded in 2018 as a passion project, dedicated to the dissemination of the music of Northeastern Brasil. The music of Forró do Cana blends the sounds of Serena Eades (violin and the Brazilian fiddle, rabeca) and Steve Charles (accordion) with the Brazilian roots of Mario Silva (guitar) and Sara Magal (percussion and vocals). Their incredible percussionist Liam MacDonald is one of Vancouver’s top go-to players of Brazilian music.
JUNO nominated Celso Machado transports his audiences through the richness and diversity of Brazilian music and beyond. As a virtuoso guitarist, percussionist, multi-instrumentalist, and composer he has performed and taught master classes throughout Europe and the Americas. Celso received the 2008 Canadian Folk Music Award for ‘World Solo Artist of the Year’. Celso is equally well known as a composer; his compositions for guitar and ensemble are published by Editions Henry Lemoine in Paris and have been recorded by many fine guitarists worldwide.
