Grupo Fundo de Quintal at Black Cat (DC)
Brazilian arts presenter EducArte welcomes Brazil’s most important samba band of all time: Grupo Fundo de Quintal (Backyard Group). Performing for the first time in the DC region, Fundo de Quintal is the most awarded and respected group in the history of samba pagode. They have defined the genre and created instruments that are now essential to the samba pagode, creating their signature sound that includes cavaco-banjo, tantã, and repique de mão.
Emerging from the samba community of the carnival bloco/ensemble Cacique de Ramos, the seminal Brazilian samba group formed in Rio de Janeiro in the 1970s. After 45 years of success in Brazilian Popular Music (MPB), they not only represent the best in samba but have also crossed over to conquer the national Brazilian music scene.
Fundo de Quintal includes a who’s who of the samba icons, having launched the careers of Jorge Aragão, Sombrinha, Almir Guineto, Arlindo Cruz, Walter Sete Cordas, Cleber Augusto, Neoci, Mário Sérgio, Ronaldinho, and Ubirany—all godfathers of generations of samba musicians. Every samba musician today has a bit of Fundo de Quintal in them.
