Levitt AMP Carson City outdoor concert Saturday features West Coast’s hottest Brazilian band
The Brewery Arts Center presents one of the West Coast’s hottest Brazilian bands, SambaDa’ on Saturday, July 21 as part of the Levitt AMP Carson City free music series presented by The Change Companies.
With 6 concerts remaining this season, grab your family, friends and neighbors and get ready to head on down to Carson City and Brewery Arts Center’s newest community treasure. Concert time is 7 p.m. Event sponsor KNBP, Reno’s local PBS station, will also be on hand for some very special guests.
The concert is part of a blockbuster Saturday night in the capital city as the 25th annual Taste of Downtown will also be underway.
Sponsored in part by the Mortimer & Mimi Levitt Foundation, a private family foundation that empowers communities to transform neglected public spaces into thriving destinations through the power of free, live music, the Levitt AMP Carson City Music Series presents 10 free, family-friendly concerts to the public at the Minnesota Street Stage right in the heart of the historic district in downtown Carson City.
The series has a diverse lineup of high caliber talent spanning genres like Celtic, R&B, country, rock, Latin and Brazilian.
SambaDá was formed in 1998 in Santa Cruz, Calif., by capoeira master Papiba Godinho, saxophonist Anne Stafford, and drummer Gary Kehoe and has gone on to conquer clubs and festivals across the country with its explosive Carnival-like performances. The band is known for its high-energy percussion, danceable grooves and visually dynamic show.
Dubbed the West Coast’s hottest Brazilian band by promoters, journalists and fans, SambaDá musically unites the Americas. Based in the rich musical traditions of Brazil, SambaDá also references salsa and cumbia, and blends them playfully with funk and reggae beats. Brazilian natives Papiba Godinho and Dandha da Hora bring profound knowledge and respect for Brazilian music, and together with the entire band, they present a unique musical sound with a universal appeal.
The public is invited to bring their own picnics, blankets and lawn chairs to the concerts, which will have an open lawn and lot setting. Food trucks, libations and kids activities will be available at the show. The Levitt AMP concert series is located at 449 West King Street at the corner of King and Minnesota. Admission is free.
