The past year has been an extremely exciting year for Sambalanco. We were fortunate to add as musicians, people of exceptional caliber who have played Brazilian music before, so we are extremely happy to welcome them to our group.
Sambalanco besides playing at public events, like Hotel Congress, El Parador, Biosphere, PCC, has also been very fortunate to count with private invitations from the Ambassador of Brasil for the Ambassador's Ball in Scottsdale. In addition, we have played with our sister bands Toa Toa and Brazukas, in many events.
Two of our members are part of the Tucson Brazilian Week Committee and are hoping to bring the Director of the School of Samba that won this year's Carnaval, Mestre Sombra. He has been recognized by all Schools of Samba and the City of Sao Paulo, as the best this year, in terms of presentation, music, lyrics, rhythm and theme. Mestre Sombra Seja Bemvindo!
Sambalanco has its own private listserv that sends flyers to a large audience all the way to Scottsdale and Los Angeles. Thank you for all your support and love. Also, Muito obrigada!
Journalists from Sao Paulo wrote a couple of articles about our band that were published in Sao Paulo. Obrigada!
We are preparing to celebrate our second Tucson Brazilian Week, the week of September 7-13th. Please check their website for all calendar of events related to TBW.
We are now in our 34th year of celebrating Brazilian Carnaval in Tucson. This coming year we will celebrate it on Feb. 27th 2010. This celebration is not new as it has appeared lately in the news, it was started by the Brazilian Community in the year 1975 by professor Nivea Parsons who worked through the 80's with Bill Martinez and who eventually took over when Nivea could no longer devote time to it. We hope you can join us for both events.
This are all our news so far, until we see each other again, have a great summer!
