Bebel Gilberto with Forro In The Dark
Tuesday, September 18 2007
Webster Hall, New York NY


event description
Earlier this year, Bebel Gilberto released her third solo album Momento, a representation of a moment in time. Gilberto's sweet, soulful blend of Brazilian and international music continues to take the world by surprise, in part due to recent collaborations with The Brazilian Girls, Guy Sigsworth, and young Rio producer Kassin. She continues her upward momentum this year with nods to her rich musical background, using it as a springboard for her own ineffable global vision.

Supporting Bebel at the performance will be Forro in the Dark, who are not quite that type of traditional forró band. Instead they are bringing an updated style of the music to the hipsters and club-goers of NYC, but the sweaty, excitable vibe is still undeniable. Supplementing the traditional instrumentation with electric guitars, an array of flutes, modern percussion and other contemporary instruments, along with the help of David Byrne, Bebel Gilberto and Miho Hatori, Forro in the Dark capture the immediate, pleasure-craving core of forró for modern audiences to relieve their stress on the dance floor just like the Brazilian workers of the early 1900s.
