Brazilian Tropicália with a second-line pulse — samba, funk & psychedelia grounded in the feel of Frenchmen St. Brasinola plays the music of Brazil's Tropicalia movement with a New Orleans rhythm underneath. The band draws on the late 1960s and 1970s heyday of that Brazilian sound -- its blend of samba, funk, folk, and psychedelia -- while grounding everything in the feel of the city where they perform. As bassist and co-founder Ron Johnson has put it, "the NOLA in our name is the foot of the New Orleans drummer."

This performance is sponsored by Jazz Foundation of America, and features:
Danny Abel - guitar
Eduardo Tozzato - piano and vocals
Fernando Lima - percussion
Sam Albright - bass
Eric Bolivar - drums

Doors: 4 pm
Show: 5 - 6 pm
