Sounds Green – Cores Do Samba
Wed 31 July 2024
Botanic Garden
Led by Brazilian singer Caru Lins, the group explores the infectious, rhythmic and uplifting music of Brazil, especially the ’MPB’ style (Música Popular Brasileira), plus samba, bossa nova and funk, and songs by Gilberto Gil, Chico Buarque, João Donato, Tom Jobim, Djavan, Joyce and Ivan Lins.
Set on the Garden’s Main Lawn, visitors can relax and enjoy informal and fun live music with family and friends, on a (hopefully) warm and balmy evening.
Music begins at 6.30pm, lasting approximately one hour.
Visitors are welcome to enjoy the Garden until 8.30pm when the gates will close.
Picnics are welcome. Food and drink will be provided by Pizza Mondo and The Garden Café. Ice cream by Jack’s Gelato.
Bring a rug or picnic chair and relax in beautiful surroundings to some stunning musical sounds!
