Época de Ouro: The Golden Age of Brazilian Music

Eliot Society is proud to present the first concert of the 2017 series: “Época de Ouro: The Golden Age of Brazilian Music”, featuring the Pablo Regis and Tom Rohde Brazilian Ensemble with special guest Cissa Paz.

This program features classic Brazilian musical genres such as choro, samba, and forro performed by some of Washington D.C.’s most prominent Brazilian musicians who will demonstrate the variety and richness of Brazilian vocal, instrumental, and dance music using traditional Brazilian string, wind, and percussion instruments. The performance will trace the development and crystallization of traditional and popular Brazilian musical genres in the early twentieth century during Brazil’s golden age of music and demonstrate how these genres have influenced the shape of Brazilian music in the decades that followed. Some of the important social and cultural factors in Brazilian history that led to the formation of these rich Brazilian musical traditions will be discussed in the short pre-concert lecture, given by musicologist Tom Rohde.
