Guylaina & Brazilian Vibe

About

"Brazilian Vibe" is the perfect synergy between Canada and Brazil!"

A native of Quebec, Guylaina’s passion for Brazilian music is inspired by her extensive travel from Africa to Latin America and her desire to share this rich palette of rhythms and graceful melodies.

As the lead vocalist, Guylaina’s authentic interpretation ranges from the “Bossa Nova” by renowned composer such as Antonio Carlos Jobim, to the lively “Samba” recognized world-wide as symbol of Brazil.

Guylaina was raised in a passionate singing family, surrounded by classical music during her growing years. She started her artistic journey by accompanying herself on guitar. Her fascination for “World music” brought her to experiment with a variety of cultures. Guylaina sought out ways to express herself through French, Spanish and Italian melodies until she discovers her natural connection to Brazilian music.

Guitarist Marcos Martins, has recently made Winnipeg his home. He flew to Canada bringing with him his musical culture from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. With his charming interpretation, Marcos will captivate your imagination and take you on a trip to his homeland.

The band performed in many venues and festivals for the past five years either as a duo or a full band.  The main performances includes: the “TD Winnipeg Jazz” festival, “Folklorama”, the “Fringe”, “Culture days”, “Brazilian Independence days”, “Brazilian Carnaval” celebrations and the “Mardi Jazz”.

“Brazilian Vibe” brings a new breeze to this international groove while revitalizing the classics and introducing us to the newest songs from Brazil ! »
