Program Notes From the driving percussive beat of Samba, to the subtle expressionism of Bossa Nova, to the sophisticated music of Villa-Lobos, Orquestra de Samba provides an unforgettable glimpse into Brazilian culture. The Orquestra is a collaboration of Brazilian musicians now living in the Chicago-area who have backgrounds in classical, jazz, and Latin music. They have come together to showcase the depth, beauty, and power of Brazilian music and culture.
