Luiz Morais and his Brilliant Brazil group, with the voice of Gabrielle Kozyra – “the best Brazillian Music singer in London” -The Hoste Of Jazz, embrace seductive vocals, supported by guitar, flute, piano, bass and percussion. Born in the North East of Brazil, 7-string guitar player, arranger and composer Luiz Morais has been playing the guitar from a young age. Immersed in the vibrant Brazilian musical culture, he built his strong musical foundations playing rhythms such as Samba, Choro and Bossa Nova as well as the iconic North Eastern rhythm of Forró. Luiz graduated in Popular Music from the University of Rio de Janeiro and can count among his teachers great masters of Brazilian guitar such as Carrilho, Braga & Gnattali. Brilliant Brazil return to Dean Street for this Friday lunchtime start of the weekend, for a party of toe tapping, hip swaying, finger popping samba, bossa nova and choro music.
