Connecting Chords Presents: Biribá Union

About this show

Borrowing its name from a Brazilian wild sugar-apple, Biribá Union features Mike Block (cello, vocals), Christylez Bacon (beatbox, guitar, rhymes) and Patricia Ligia (electric bass, vocals). The trio met through Silkroad’s Global Musician Workshop, initially bonding over their shared love of Brazilian music. The artists quickly began co-writing new music that draws on the freestyle theatrics of hip-hop and Go-go music; the effortless beauty of Brazilian forró and choro; the earthiness of American roots music, and the improvisational spontaneity of jazz. Biribá Union is on a mission to embody cultural acceptance and unification through music — but always with an infectious groove to hook audiences in. Limited seating is available, buying in advance is strongly encouraged! Tickets sold here: https://ticketscandy.com/e/biriba-union-19049
