★★★★★ Songlines
“A tight-knit family of virtuosos…. One of the most exciting bands in London” DJ Ritu
“They breathe a new life into Brazil’s popular lilting choro style… adding a distinctive, contemporary edge” Sarah Ward, Jazz FM
Brazilian instrumental quintet Alvorada will be presenting their latest album Faz Tempo, a bold and rich tapestry of artfully arranged original compositions. Faz Tempo, which will be released with ARC Music, explores Brazilian rhythms such as choro, samba, bossa nova and baião, with jazz and improvisation peppering their sound.
Alvorada are an award-winning ensemble based in London who play music inspired by the choro tradition. From their original compositions to classics of the genre, Alvorada’s shows are filled with joyful and expressive melodies combined with infectious Brazilian grooves and playful interaction. Alvorada unites top musicians from the UK and Brazil, whose diverse backgrounds - including jazz, classical and Brazilian music - lend the group a unique edge.
Alvorada have performed at festivals and venues across the UK and beyond, with recent sell-out shows at the Southbank Centre, London Jazz Festival, La Linea Festival, Pizza Express Soho and Paris International Choro Festival. Their debut album First Light, released in 2019, was received with much critical acclaim (5* Songlines magazine), leading to BBC Radio 3 and JazzFM appearances. Alvorada also won the LUKAS and Focus Brasil awards for ‘Best Brazilian Band’.
