Brasil Summerfest in NYC

Hey Y'all,
Brasil Summerfest takes place in July; last year was my first time attending the festivities and it left such an impression on me that I had to attend again.
Last year, I went to see "Forro in the Dark" at City Winery. The band members were not only hot! but they  had everyone moving to their heavy percussion beats.

Jorge Continentino

This year, I watched a beautiful performance by Mauricio Pessoa at the Standard Hotel Penthouse. Mauricio sang and played acoustic guitar and bass with his band. Combined with the lighting and an amazing rainy sunset, they made every woman in there feel sexy. He sang in English and Portuguese and has a lovely voice. Keeping the traditional Brasilian samba rhythm is his priority. The sexy Mauricio, who is from Rio de Janeiro, released his album "Habitat" on June 19 of this year.
