FREE EVENT Ι SCHEDULE Ι BRAZILIAN ARTIST BIOS

Lose yourself in Latin America – right here in Yorkville – as the Assad Duo, Yamandu Costa, Luciana Souza featuring Romero Lumbardo and other guitar masters take you on a day-long tour of their country’s hottest sounds.

From bossa nova to the works of such classical composers as Heitor Villa-Lobos and Egberto Gismonti, the guitar has a rich and diverse history in Brazil. Our free outdoor fiesta features Grammy Award-winners Sérgio and Odair Assad, often hailed as the best classical guitar duo in the world; virtuoso Celso Machado, whose irresistible rhythms and inspired onstage lunacy enrapture adults and kids alike; and a host of other stellar performers, including Badi Assad (sister of Sérgio and Odair), Luciana Souza: Brazilian duos featuring Romero Lumbambo, and seven-string sensation Yamandu Costa.

Come on down to the Village of Yorkville Park – the music goes on all day!
