Brazilian Musicians Living in California that Helps to Spread the Brazilian Culture Through Music
By Lindenberg Junior | Translation: Amanda Peter
Around the world, Brazilian music is appreciated and loved, and its rhythms and beauty can be recognized by whoever has the opportunity to get in contact with it. Just like soccer, Brazilian music became a trend almost everywhere you go. Bossa Nova was very much responsible for that during the 60’s and afterward, and it opened the doors for other Brazilian rhythms to thrive beyond Brazilian boundaries.
Great musicians from all over the globe are now singing and playing Brazilian music, and in the U.S we have a bunch of them! Including in the Golden State in cities such as L.A, San Diego, Santa Barbara, and San Francisco.
And as a Brazilian media group in California, we started a series in 2015 to show these musicians little by little every year in our Music Special Issue, usually in the first or second issue of each year. Since then we have shown 6 to 8 local Brazilian musicians residents in California that in one way or another have helped to disseminate Brazilian culture through music.
There are too many brazilian musicians here in California to show them all at once. We believe that from those working part-time or full-time as a musician and lives in California, the number can easily could be over 150. For obvious reasons, we show initially 8 of them in 2015 in one of out printed/digital issue, continue with 6 more in 2016, again 8 in 2017, and continuing doing it almost every year since now. Below you will find a list of Brazilian Musicians we have feature through the years that is clickable to redirect for their articles, and that grow each year!
