En Canto Album Release Show
Sat, Dec 5, 2015 at 9pm
9:00pm | 8:00pm Doors
En Canto celebrates the release of their debut album Solto Por Jeri, recorded at London Bridge studios. A multi-ethnic, female-led seven-piece, En Canto’s world pop music—a combination forró, samba, and choro-inspired originals and reimagined covers of classic Brazilian hits—commands attention and inspires movement. “We love this music because of its compositional brilliance, its original grooves, and its revolutionary nature ... its roots in post-colonialism, in cultural battles for class and racial equality,” Accordionist Jamie Maschler, explains. "Why wouldn’t it also inspire gender-equality?"
Playing primarily in North American venues, En Canto currently channels its fierce independence into challenging stereotypes while also helping audiences expand their comfort zones. “We make people dance”
Accordionist Marcelo Caldi from Rio De Janiero will be opening the show.
