TONIGHT’S SHOW: Oakland Samba Revue!
Oakland Samba Revue is the San Francisco Bay Area’s premiere banda de gafieira. Featuring a full horn section with tightly crafted original arrangements and 3 vocalists, O.S.R. draws on the sounds of samba de gafieira–an eclectic form of traditional samba from Brazil–while creating their own unique brand with plenty of samba, funk, jazz, forró, bolero and more.
O.S.R. is a product of Grupo Falso Baiano co-founder Brian Moran – “Morangão” (guitar/cavaquinho/vocals and arrangements), backed by a rotating cast of some of the Bay Area’s best jazz and latin jazz musicians including vocalists/percussionists Catia Machado Lund and Katiana Vilá, Zack Pitt-Smith (reeds), Erik Jekabson and Henry Hung (trumpets), Jeff Cressman and Remee Ashley (trombones), Brendan Neutra (bass), Zack Mondlick and Sylvia Cuenca (drums). Visit their website to learn more.
Come enjoy a lively summer evening in the Redwood Grove!
