The diverse cultural background of Brazil includes many celebrations and festivals that have become known around the world, such as Brazilian Carnival. This colorful culture creates an environment that makes Brazil a popular destination.

Encinitas Friends of the Arts (EFA) will recreate this culture at Passport to the Brazil

Saturday, April 28
6:30-9:30 P.M.

Encinitas Community Center
1140 Oakcrest Park Drive,
Encinitas CA 92024.

In keeping with EFA’s mission to celebrate diversity through arts and culture, the event will foster an appreciation and fresh awareness of ancient and modern Brazil, and raise funds for much needed arts programs in the city.

Passport to the Brazil will feature many of Southern California’s finest cultural artists, musicians, and dancers. Cajuina is a San Diego based band specializing in authentic Forró, Samba, Bossa Nova and Musica Popular Brasileira. Performers include Bahia-born Lucas Lima on guitar and vocals, Stefanie Schmitz on saxophone and clarinet, Emi Cara on percussion, and Ben Rempel on drums. They are best known for getting a high energy dance party started.

Acclaimed by the press for its “beauteous string playing”, “lustrous, polished tone,” and “vocal quality”, iPalpiti (ee-PAHL-pit-ee is Italian for “heartbeats”) is a consortium of prize-winning young professional musicians from around the globe, where each member is considered a soloist.

“Eduard Schmieder, the founder of the admirable iPalpiti… is a serious and resourceful podium personality…he goes in for intense expression and dug-in string sonorities…”
