To Do: Brazilian Girls - SummerStage

When: Sunday, July 22, 2007 From 3:00 PM to 7:00 PM
Central Park SummerStage

Brazilian Girls, Cat Empire, HIMALAYAS conducted by Kenny Wollesen & Jonathon Haffner

SummerStage is delighted to welcome back Brazilian Girls, the ultra-hip and wonderfully breezy groove band that first appeared at SummerStage two summers ago. For those who don’t know, only one of the Brazilian Girls is a girl (front-woman Sabina Sciubba) and none of them are actually from Brazil. But the name perfectly fits the globe-trotting vibe of their music, a playful mix of electronica, bossa nova, vintage French pop and rock. Their sophomore set Talk To La Bomb was released last year, and Spin magazine called it “multicultural, cosmopolitan, intellectual dance music: Ibiza meets punk, dub goes tango, trance gets smart.”

I've never been to SummerStage - I've generally found it too expensive - but you can't beat the price of this show... free. It'll be a fun way to chill on a lazy Sunday afternoon.
