Pixote Concerts Setlist

Straight out of the dynamic music scene in São Paulo, Grupo Pixote is one of the best pagode bands in Brazil by being faithful to the pagode roots but with a contemporary flair. Something special runs through their music - that magic Brazilian ability to get even strangers dancing together.

What distinguishes Pixote from the packed pagode scene in Brazil isn't so much their mastery of samba rhythms; it's how they've been able to revive the genre as something fresh and different. They've achieved that ideal middle ground between innovation and tradition, creating music that's both timeless and completely contemporary.

You can hear the rhythm of Brazil in all of their songs which they sing - from the syncopated beats of the samba which is no less samba to the sumptuous harmonies that have now become their signature. It is music which will make you wonder at how so entrenched the Brazilian culture has been in everyone in the world.

In a country that has given the world bossa nova, MPB, and so much more in musical creativity, Pixote has cemented themselves as a musical representative of Brazil. They are proof the soul of samba is not extinguished but still very much alive, still telling Brazil's story in rhythm and song.
