However, they play a simplified version of Brazilian music, that while fun, isn't quite authentic. There's another group in Montreal called Estação da Luz that has been doing amazing things with Afro-Brazilian rhythms. They recently played at Nuits d'Afrique and won the Sily d'Or prize for world music. CBC Radio 2 sometimes records their shows. I encourage people to check them out. Their site is estacaodaluz.ca (Yes, I'm involved with the band, for the record). Zuruba and Bombolessé are nice bands.

I play with Zuruba and I just wanted to say your pics are great :) I'm glad you enjoyed the show! Indeed, Zuruba also had another bunch of percussionists also playing all day (11am to 4pm) saturday and sunday on Ste-Catherine (corner of Stanley) and we had a blast!!! We even played in the pouring rain on Sunday on Ste-Cath. but we did stop a bit earlier than 4pm. Come catch us on the 31st of July from noon to 1pm, we'll be playing at the Place Riopelle (next to the Palais des Congrès) as part of the série du midi du Quartier international de Montréal. Just imagine how the sound will be with all those tall buildings echoing all around us! Hope to see you there! *=) Hi there!
