Orquestra Imperial

Event information

Direct from Rio the seventeen piece retronova samba big band makes a very rare UK appearance.

Since their first show in the summer of 2002, the ORQUESTRA became one of the biggest sensations in the Carioca cultural scene. At their shows everyone dances and special guests have included great Brazilian names, like Caetano Veloso, Seu Jorge, Marisa Monte, Jorge Mautner, Fernanda Abreu, Ed Motta, and international stars as all such as Chrissie Hynde (who played with the group in a pre-carnival ball in 2006).
