Catch the samba swing of Brazil with Paulo Padilha e Bando. Born in São Paulo, Padilha travels between the sounds of traditional samba and other Brazilian popular musical styles. His band of master samba musicians and dancers will make you want to dance all the way home!

Padilha appears as part of Arts Midwest World Fest, which connects international musicians with select midwestern communities. His visit to the region also includes an educational component. A music teacher with more than 25 years of experience, Padilha is a master musician and educator who specializes in rhythm and song workshops for children, teenagers, and adults.

This show is part of our Backstage Series, an intimate concert experience with the audience seated on the stage.
