VIVA BRASIL FESTIVAL 2014

While Brazil prepares for the World Cup, Amsterdam is getting ready for Viva Brasil Festival 2014. This international festival of Brazilian jazz, samba and popular Brazilian music (MPB) brings a dazzling programme to a stunning location on the IJ on 18, 19 and 20 July.

The Muziekgebouw and Bimhuis stages will be hosting top-class Brazilian musicians and exciting new talents who are guaranteed to get everybody dancing. The foyer of the Muziekgebouw will become Praça Viva Brasil, a lively square with something for everyone – electrifying VJ-shows, fascinating workshops, and especially: dancing! Of course, there’ll be lots of delicious food too: like any Brazilian square, the Praça will have a tempting selection of Brazilian snacks and drinks for you to enjoy. The outside terrace will be transformed into a Samba Lounge.

This second evening will feature Olodum featuring Daniela Mercury, Diana Miranda, André Rio, Maga Bo, VJs, and DJs plus many other bands.

AT BIMHUIS:
Diana Miranda

Diana Miranda, born in the North East of Brazil, launched
her first CD in March 1993. Her music is a mix of Brazilian styles, mainly
influenced by samba. Diana’s energy and warm voice explain her success among a
bigger audience. One of her most outstanding performances took place during the
Jazz Festival of Montreux where she received congratulations of Quincy Jones.
