About this Act
Rio Brass are a London based act who bring the tradition of Brazilian Carnaval Blocos to London. Every year thousands gather in Rio streets and clubs to celebrate Carnaval and to listen and party to the music of the many different Blocos (aka street bands) that the city has to offer.
With that in mind, trumpeter and founder of the act Gabriel Dias, who is originally from Rio and studied music at the Juilliard School in New York, created the group by arranging and rehearsing popular songs from both the UK and Brazil. Rio Brass has the mission to honour the tradition of celebrating music and life in Europe. Viva o Carnaval!
Testimonial
"Gabriel's 4 piece totally transformed our garden party from a nice, quiet get-together to a lively and sociable space! I couldn't have wished for more musically and such friendly, polite people too! Cannot recommend highly enough!"
-- Jackie, Sept. 2019
"Hi Gabriel,
We wanted to say a huge thank you for playing at our wedding. Your performance was incredible and was everything we imagined. It was an absolute blast and gave us the perfect vibe for our wedding. Our guests were dancing nonstop and you provided us with such fun memories, especially dancing up close to the musicians when they came into the crowd!
Thanks again. You were brilliant!"
