Rio de Janeiro: city of culture, art and musical vocation. More than a rich sound tradition, Rio de Janeiro has music as a fundamental and defining element in its DNA. As a homeland and a stage that brings together the greatest talents, a propagator center or muse, the city is where the bass drum of the Brazilian heart has always hit the strongest, marking national steps and beats for jewels ranging from samba and bossanova to classical music and symphonic. And, in the case of bands, this connection is, let’s say, umbilical.
