        Dendê Macêdo delivers ecstatic percussive incantations to invoke the gods of Afro-Brazilian Candomblé . For world-class percussionist and singer Dendê Macêdo, music bridges the chasm between the earthly and heavenly planes — a conversation between matter and spirit, and a life-enriching communion with the divine that he strives to share with his audiences. All female Afro-Brazilian ensemble Fogo Azul is joined on stage by Adriana Portela, Bahian percussionist and leader who challenged gender norms and led the very first all female bloco-afro in Brazil with her group Banda Dida. Local DJ hero Greg Caz will play in between sets to keep this explosive night going.

        After fifteen years of career, Brazilian singer-songwriter Céu is widely accepted as one of the most influential and important Brazilian artists of this century. She began her career in 2005 with an American Grammy nomination, shortly after changing the scene in her own country, by leading a new generation of female singers who also write their own songs and use digital media to promote their work. The three-time Latin Grammy Award winner CéU takes the stage with her innovative blend of MPB, electronica, samba and soul.. Joined by singer-songwriter Rommel who blends popular Brazilian music with Afro-Beat, funk and jazz, and DJ Ubunto, this night celebrates the brilliance of Brazilian music.

        ser manguezal by 

        eliseu cavalcante

        July 21 at Steven Amedee Gallery

         

        "Ser Manguezal," created by Eliseu Cavalcante, was inspired by Josué de Castro's book "Of Men and Crabs." De Castro was a Brazilian geographer, physician, writer and activist against world hunger. The project features the relationship between men and mangroves, unifying them and making the human being part of this biome. The project showcases the mangroves as a battleground faced by the heroes who depend on this ecosystem to survive; seeks to recognize the hard-working mangrove crab hunters and make their work more visible; and to bring awareness about the social and environmental importance of mangroves.
