Borrowing, mixing and adapting musical traditions is at the heart of music. Nation Beat singularly conjures up this elemental musical charm, drawing on the source of rhythm that lit up jazz. From the Brazil drumming, propelled by sounds of New Orleans-flavored brass, this music makes you dance! Nation Beat’s mission is to unite the rural music of Brazilian Maracatu and NOLA roots to all audiences with their joyful Carnival-style rhythms.
