SHOW BRAZIL!

The soul of the Brazilian Culture in high energetic performance. Internationally recognized and respected Show Brazil!, well known throughout the Northwest from events such as Bumbershoot and Brasilfest, has delighted audiences in the United States, Brazil, and Canada for over twenty years. The ensemble features accomplished performers.

Show Brazil!’s bandleader and Music Director Eduardo Mendonça, a native of Salvador, Bahia, Brazil, traces his lineage to a royal African family bearing the hereditary title of Mamabeka (“prophet of the royal court”), as documented by the Instituto Geográfico e Histórico da Bahia. Eduardo had the honor to play for Pope John Paul II’s welcome to Brazil, former South Africa President Nelson Mandela (Seattle, WA – USA – 1999), Brazilian President João Baptista Figueiredo (Brazil 1979), the 14th Dalai Lama (Seattle, WA 2008) and was also featured in a Paul Simon documentary video in 1991.

Eduardo performed at many events in Calgary in a band arrangement with local musicians at many of our past events such as Carnaval, BrazilFest, and Reveillon. As a solo, he performed as the opening guest artist for the shows in Calgary of on Geraldo Azevedo (2007) and Guilherme Arantes (2019).

Eduardo is a singer, plays guitar and percussion. At Réveillon 2023 he is performing with Show Brazil Band members: David Pascal (bass) and Ted Bohn (trombone).
