Event Description


Pedro Quental (singer from Monobloco) in Toronto July 29!

Pedro Quental – singer, composer, performer

A loose translation of Pedro Quental’s style? How about “Carioca Soul” — that is to say, soul music from Rio de Janeiro. It is a style that he himself sees as a mixture of MPB (Musica Popular Brasileira) and soul music. He presents a new recipe of sound dubbed the “Gafieira Carioca Soul,” mixing old dancehall “samba de gafieira” swing together with the funky beats of Rio’s soul movement. This sound can be quintessentially defined as the Carioca’s (from Rio): it brings along with it the very fabric of that city’s musical tradition. Despite being a true Carioca, Pedro’s travels as a musician have taken him around Brazil and he lived for years in Recife, getting to know that city’s rich musical tradition and recording with artists like Lula Queiroga and the masters of the ‘frevo rhythm’ the Spok Orchestra. Although “behind the scenes” for ages in Brazil’s rich musical industry (as a composer and singer for films, commercials and jingles), in 2008, Pedro Quental gained notoriety as a performer when he teamed up with Rio’s outrageously cool and popular percussion group, Monobloco. He has presented over 200 shows singing with Monobloco. He comes to Toronto with a repertoire that combines samba-funk-soul and rhythmic samba swing arrangements, all with his direction.

He has joined forces with some heavy Brazilian musicians to perform on July 29th at Lula Lounge:

The band:
Pedro Quental – vocal, guitar
Maninho Costa – percussion
Silas Silva Filho – drum kit
Wagner Petrilli – guitar
Ian de Souza – bass
Rob Thaller – keyboard

Also featuring DJ Alkiks spinning some of the best of Brazilian samba, funk and soul!

Show starts: 9:30pm!

There will also be a draw to WIN 2 PAIRS OF TICKETS to see SEU JORGE at the Phoenix on August 2!*

Presented by: Maninho Costa (Batucada Carioca) and Lula Music and Arts Centre
