We celebrate Brazilian Independence Day a day early with an incredible night celebrating the most musically-rich territory on earth.

Leo Middea is the exciting Rio de Janeiro talent, now based in Lisbon. Taking songwriting influence from Brazilian greats Caetano Veloso and Gilberto Gil, both from the northern province of Bahia, Leo also celebrates elements of MPB via his love of 70s group Novos Baianos.

Mario Bakuna is a London-based Brazilian composer, arranger, singer and guitar player, who has been a fixture on the European scene for twenty years. Expect Brazilian standards and sophisticated harmonies inspired by the post-bossa nova movement.

His music is inspired by the greats of Afro-Brazilian Music, Samba, Jazz and Bossa Nova. In addition to developing new arrangements of music by enshrined Brazilian artists as Tom Jobim, Dorival Caymmi, Paulo Moura, and João Donato.

DJ D. Vyzor, the beating heart of Londons Brazilian music community, will be behind the decks on the night.
