THE MUSIC!

Brasil Summerfest is the largest international Brazilian music and arts festival in the world. Launched in 2011, Brasil Summerfest presents an unprecedented lineup of music, film, workshops, and a street fair at high profile venues in New York City. This is the seventh year of Brasil Summerfest’s collaboration with Live at the Archway.

Os Clavelitos is an "American Samba" band based in New York City, who creates original music combining traditional Brazilian rhythms (samba, baiao, bossa nova, and frevo) with English lyrics. With band members from Brazil, Japan, and the U.S., the six piece ensemble celebrates Brazil's rich musical heritage, while incorporating their eclectic performing backgrounds in "Latin", indie, jazz, pop, and folkloric styles. Os Clavelitos also perform traditional and popular Brazilian songs, sung in Portuguese. Os Clavelitos music and live performances celebrating community, inclusion and having fun. They often incorporate batucada (percussion ensemble) into their shows and present an upbeat, high energy performance that gets people up and dancing! Os Clavelitos' album, "Arriving", debuted at #1 on the Roots Music Report Top 50 World Chart and is #7 on the RMR Top 200 World Albums of 2016. Os Clavelitos is essentially about coming together to share culture and influences; conjuring an enchanting vista of sounds, as welcoming as a leisurely Sunday feast, abundant with food, friends, dancing, and samba for all. Os Clavelitos make a welcoming, big-hearted sound, inviting you to their samba parade, where we are all 'Arriving' joyfully home in our shared humanity.
