Event
Nation Beat with Adama Dembele & Ensemble Djembeso, DJ Nigel One and Selector Timothy spinning.
At the heart of Nation Beat lies the mergence of maracatu with New Orleans second line rhythms, Appalachian-inspired bluegrass music, funk, rock, and country-blues. As illustrated on their debut album, Maracatuniversal, Nation Beat parades with an indispensable audacious energy, and seamlessly bridges folkloric Brazilian rhythms with classic American roots music. As of late, rising Brazilian star Liliana Araujo fronts the ensemble with her soaring powerhouse vocals. A recent finalist on Brazil's "American Idol" spin-off program FAMA (Rede Globo), Liliana Araujo is already garnering comparisons to the great Virginia Rodriguez. Rolling Stone Brazil (June 2007) ran a photo of Liliana Araujo when the publication listed Nation Beat's "Old Wooden Chair" as the 1 track on their Hot List. Their explosive live show will certainly attract music fans from a wide demographic; Brazilian music lovers, folks who love to dance, Americana concertgoers and outdoor festival types.
