Grupo Falso Baiano & Samba de Raiz

La Pena Cultural Center
Berkeley, CA

For over five years, Grupo Falso Baiano has delighted audiences with their energetic blend of instrumental Brazilian choro, samba and jazz. Their new project, featuring Brazilian vocalist Ana Carbatti, explores samba de raiz the authentic roots samba of Rio de Janeiro. This older, more melodic style of samba, currently enjoying a resurgence in Rio's famous Lapa district, had its heyday in the 1950s and '60s and features songs by the great carnaval composers. Grupo Falso Baiano and Ana Carbatti are one of the few groups bringing this swinging, celebratory sound to the U.S.
