WMI Concerts

Singer-composer Jair Oliveira, one of the most exciting musicians and producers in Brazil today, embodies the roots and evolution of samba. Known by many Brazilians as "Jairzinho" (little Jair), he began his career at six, performing and recording with his father, Brazil's legendary singer Jair Rodrigues. He grew up in front of the country as part of the hit band/TV program Balão Mágico, and after his studies at the Berklee College of Music, went on to produce albums with some of Brazil’s most respected artists including Vicente Barreto, Wilson Simoninha, Luciana Mello, and Tom Zé. His captivating music -  modern while remaining connected to tradition - blends samba, bossa-nova, jazz, funk, electronic and African beats. He recently starred in Walter Lima Jr.’s Os Desafinados, a film about the bossa nova movement. US concert debut.
