Florquestra Brasil

About Me

Florquestra recipe (serves all) :
Mix a handful of feverish sambas, a pinch of sultry bossa novas, a dash of tropical rhyme, the intricate beauty of Brazilian harmony and the rhythmic patterns you may have never heard before... but will love immediately. Serve on a hot day, between a slice of setting sun and a slice of settled sea, with a Regina Gomes Teixeira (vocals, percussion), a Leonard Constant (guitar, vocals) and a Silvio Modolo (piano, cavaquinho, bass, vocals).
«No surprise that the heat keeps rising into the weekend at a venue called Mercury Lounge. Just pronouncing Florquestra Brasil makes me warmer, and that, ladies and gentlemen, is what is on offer this eve. A bonafide bossa nova and samba band from Guimarães and São Paulo, Florquestra Brasil will make your heart weep for sunburns while you burn up the wooden floor.»
