SUMMARY:Colorado Brazil Fest
DESCRIPTION:TICKETS\nColorado Brazil Fest offers an exciting evening of live music and dance that celebrates the depth and energy of Brazilian culture. Get swept into the spirit of Brazil with Gisele Duquè\, a bold new voice in Brazilian music\, delivering a night of samba\, soul\, and swing with raw energy and refined artistry. Dance performances by Samba Colorado and Escola de Samba Denver bring colorful energy to the stage. The high energy continues with Dandha da Hora—a masterful singer and dancer from Salvador\, Bahia and longtime member of the legendary Afro-Brazilian group Ilê Aiyê—joined by Ginga band and the powerful percussion of Bateria Alegria — bringing the festival to a joyful and unforgettable close. \nGisele Duquè started her singing career at the age of 12\, performing at restaurants\, private parties\, and weddings. She spent this time hoping and eager for something bigger. When this hope came to fruition\, it took her from her home in Brazil to tour through China\, Hong Kong and Macau. The culmination of this tour saw her living at sea\, performing for Celebrity Cruise Lines and bringing her music to over 13 different countries. Gisele’s all-embracing style has been influenced by the multitude of styles and languages she’s been exposed to\, ranging from bossa nova and samba to soul and rock n’ roll. Singing in Portuguese\, English\, Spanish and sometimes even Chinese\, Gisele is an eclectic songstress whose versatility and charm can carry her from an intimate show with a small crowd to a fervent carnival. \nDandha Da Hora: Born and raised in Salvador\, Bahia\, Dandha Da Hora has been a member of Ilê Aiyê\, one of Brazil’s most important musical and cultural institutions\, since she was 6 years old. A master dancer\, as well as vocalist and percussionist\, Dandha invokes the incredible spirit of Ilê Aiyê and Salvador\, Bahia\, each time she steps onstage. As a lead dancer with Ilê Aiyê\, Dandha toured internationally and has shared the stage with many of Brazil’s most renowned artists such as Caetano Veloso\, Gilberto Gil and Daniela Mercury. In addition to performing with Ilê Aiyê and SambaDá\, Dandha has performed with Casa Samba (New Orleans\, LA)\, SambaDendê and Bateria Alegria (Boulder\, CO)\, Banda Remelexo and Bahia Soul (Bay Area\, CA). \nMembers of Ginga: Cultivated in Boulder\, Colorado and composed of some of the best jazz\, classical and salsa musicians on the Front Range\, Ginga is the powerhouse Brazilian band in Colorado. The members of Ginga accompanying Dandha are Greg LaLiberte (flute\, saxophones\, percussion\, vocals)\, Bill Kopper (acoustic 6 & 7 string guitars\, electric guitar\, vocals)\, Bill McCrossen (Bass)\, Raoul Rossiter (drums\, percussion\, vocals)\, Carl Dixon (percussion\, vocals)\, and Vincent Gonzalez (percussion\, vocals). \nBateria Alegria is the primary performing ensemble of the Boulder Samba School\, composed of 20-30 percussionists and led by Music Director Carl Dixon. The ensemble plays percussion-based styles of music from Rio de Janeiro (samba batucada) and Salvador (samba reggae). The music incorporates a mixture of African\, European\, and indigenous influences and traditions. These styles of music are traditionally played during the carnival parades throughout Brazil and can be heard in Brazilian concert stages\, dance clubs\, neighborhoods\, and soccer matches. \nEscola de Samba Denver with Bella Diva: Escola de Samba Denver is the newest international addition to the original Escola de Samba Sydney in Australia\, directed by renowned performing artist and instructor Sashya Jay. Escola de Samba Denver carries on Escola de Samba Sydney’s dedication to providing progressive Brazilian dance education that is aligned with the latest and evolving dance techniques and artistic styles in Brazil\, with authenticity and respect for the roots of the culture at its core. \nSamba Colorado: Since its founding in 2013\, Samba Colorado is devoted to bringing together people from all walks of life in an artistic\, educational\, and positive community by sharing the joy and beauty of Brazilian culture and dance. They offer classes\, workshops\, dance residencies as well as energetic and exciting performances for both community and private events.
