Get ready for a reality check on your playlist with "Is That a Brazilian Song?"
A cheeky, eye-opening night where Pedro and band unmask the global megahits that borrowed heavily from Brazilian soil. Did you really think those iconic riffs and vocal lines came out of nowhere? Think again.
We’re taking famous tracks by international heavyweights—from Deep Purple and Black Sabbath to Gotye, Adele, and Rod Stewart—and stripping them down to reveal the true Brazilian roots, rhythms, and melodies they "borrowed" (or outright stole) from. Equal parts musical comedy, friendly call-out, and high-energy tribute, this show proves that some of the world’s biggest hits have a secret Portuguese accent.
Bringing this detective work to life is our 5-piece band: Pedro (Guitar & Vocals) Marilia (Keys & Vocals) Marcus (Bass) Baiano (Percussion) Marvin (Drums) Come laugh, dance, and have your mind blown as we ask the ultimate question: Is that actually a Brazilian song? (Spoiler: Yes, it probably is.)
