Description
It’s an electrifying evening of samba soul as the legendary Azymuth takes the stage with Marcos Valle. Born from the vibrant Rio de Janeiro music scene of the early 1970s, Azymuth’s innovative blend of funk, jazz, and samba set the stage for a new era of Brazilian music. It’s a moment that yielded classics like Valle’s own Previsão do Tempo and Hyldon’s Na Rua, Na Chuva, Na Fazenda, two albums whose liquid, curving, and grooving core was dug out by Azymuth.
