The Ford Amphitheatre's bucolic environment is the perfect setting for Viver Brasil's excursion into the seductive world of Afro-Bahian culture. Artistic director Linda Yudin has assembled musicians and dancers who meld traditional Brazilian music, costumes, and movement techniques with contemporary aesthetics. The results are electrifying, with the rhythms of congos, bongos, timbaus, and surdos pulsing off the stage and energizing the audience of carnivalistas. Get there early for dance lessons on the plaza, then join a vibrant caravan of drumming, singing, and samba dancing that leads into the venue.
