Diego Moraes plus Brazilian Dance Party with DJ VeeshMaria

  • Ashkenaz Music & Dance Community Center 1317 San Pablo Avenue Berkeley, CA, 94702 United States (map)

Doors at 8:00pm ~ Diego Moraes at 8:30pm ~ Forro Dance at 10:30pm

Diego Moraes is a Brazilian singer / songwriter, developed his musicianship mostly in conservatories, but composed the Album "#Équeeuandodeônibus" with a more popular approach. “The songs were chosen to help us leave a suffering state, something that everyone goes through life, myself included, at the time I decided to make the record”.

He became known in Brazil for his participation in the Brazilian TV show Ídolos in 2009. In 2010 he released a live album with Brazilian popular classics by EMI, besides his solo career he's shared the stage with such names as Caio Prado & Daniel Chaudon in the project " Não Recomendados"

His performance will display his originals as well as classics like "Negro Gato", an alternative version of Nina Simone's "Ain't Got No" and much more on his smooth voice, effect units and acoustic guitar.

The concert is inspired by the streets, according to a desire to represent the common citizen, walking on the streets, although talking about pain, doesn’t stop dancing.

Keeping the party going after the live show we'll have local Brazilian Deejay VeeshMaria, spinning a mix of Tropicália sounds and contemporary Brazilian beats.
