Maracatu Raio de Ouru {YouTube link} {FB link}
La force des tambours a unit en 2019, à Montréal, des brésilien·ne·s et québécois·e·s passionné·e·s de la musique et des cultures populaires du Nord-est du Brésil pour fonder le groupe Maracatu Raio de Ouro. Notre collectif a pour objectif de présenter avec beaucoup de respect et de révérence le maracatu de baque virado, dont les rythmes associent la puissance des percussions et des chants à une culture de résistance, ainsi que d’autres rythmes et manifestations populaires comme l’afoxé, le coco, la ciranda, le bumba-meu-boi et plus encore. Formé d’individus aux origines diverses, le groupe agit comme un front militant contre les préjugés de couleur, d’origine ethnique, de genre et d'orientation sexuelle et participe à plusieurs initiatives de nature sociale.
Arena Latin Band {YouTube link} {FB link}
The ARENA Group was founded in 1987 by its director Harold Orejuela who began his career at an early age in the city of Cali - Colombia under the name of Rising Sun of America under the influence of Latin American musical genres. At the beginning of the 90s, Arena's career began interpreting Latin music such as Salsa, Merengue, Tropical, Boleros and others, participating for many years in the best and greatest festivals in the country and in countless public and private events, always transmitting its unmistakable Latin flavour. In mid-2017, ARENA moved to Montreal, now with more experience and following the booming wave of Latin rhythms, with the participation of talented musicians residing in the city from different parts of Latin America such as Cuba, Peru, Colombia, and these elements are mixed to continue with the musical work of the great ARENA Orchestra.
