The fifth performance, July 10th at 12:00pm features Traditional Music Society, Soundz of Samba with artists: Bird Ellington Fleming, Patrick Conway, Allaudin Ottinger, Gary Helm, Pablo LaRosa, Xavier Fleming. Take a musical excursion that will engulf you in the biggest parade in the entire world – Carnival of Rio de Janeiro! Bass drums, bells, shakers, snares, and whistles all recreate the national rhythm and dance of Brazil—Samba. Soundz of Samba truly depicts the color and pageantry of this four-day-long event in which marching bands come from all over Brazil to express their culture and the beginning of spring. www.traditionalmusicsociety.org
