Inoah, a gravity-defying work from the mind of Brazilian choreographer Bruno Beltrão, comes to the BAM Howard Gilman Opera House Oct 31—Nov 2. His company, Grupo de Rua, was founded in Niteroi, a municipality of the bustling state of Rio de Janeiro. With a mix of street style, athletic hip-hop, and weightless physicality, they express the energy of this region in a 50-minute, heart-stopping experiment. Before immersing yourself in this intoxicating, urban work, prep your mind and soul with the sounds of Rio de Janeiro!
The RIOPOP playlist created by Brazilian-American A&R/Producer Béco Dranoff is an overview of artists, rhythms and iconic songs directly associated with Rio's rich musical heritage. The playlist includes modern and classic MPB (Música popular brasileira) stars such as Gilberto Gil and Caetano Veloso (not Rio natives, but very much associated with the city), Martinho da Vila, Beth Carvalho, Jorge Ben Jor, Bezerra da Silva and Tim Maia, as well as Marisa Monte, Marina Lima, Lulu Santos, Seu Jorge plus today's Pop stars such as IZA, Anitta, Nego Do Borel, Ludmilla and more. Enjoy a kaleidoscopic sound trip into Samba, Funk Carioca, MPB, Soul, Disco, Hip Hop, Rock and Pop.
Béco Dranoff produces 'Brazilab', the monthly Brazilian radio program online for Spain's acclaimed Radio Gladys Palmera.
Inoah will be at BAM Oct 31—Nov 2.
