BAM's 2008 Next Wave Festival salutes the sultry rhythms of samba soul with a reprise of 1996's Red Hot + Rio all-star benefit concert. This year's celebration brings together a new generation of musical talent from Brazil and beyond, including New York-based bossa singer Bebel Gilberto and Swedish finger-picking crooner José González. São Paolo's vibrant music scene offers two of the evening's most hotly tipped up-and-comers: honey-voiced R&B diva CéU and eclectic samba-funk songwriter Curumin. A portion of the proceeds from both evenings' concerts benefit the Brazil Foundation's AIDS-related relief projects.
