An all-star benefit tribute to the music and culture of Brazil, Red Hot + Rio 2 salutes
Samba Soul, the post-tropicália movement of the 70s that merged
elements of North American soul music with Brazilian rhythms. Mixing
samba with R&B, soul with baião, pioneering artists like Jorge Ben
Jor and Tim Maia signaled a cultural awakening that changed the
direction of Brazilian music forever. The concerts at BAM bring
together the newest generation of Brazilian and international artists
who represent the legacy of this influential musical style.

A portion of the proceeds will benefit BrazilFoundation’s AIDS-related projects.
