Alejandro Brittes: Bringing Chamamé to Southern Utah

Acclaimed accordionist Alejandro Brittes brings UNESCO-recognized Chamamé to Southern Utah this Fall! Following his successful East Coast tour, Brittes and his trio will go on to perform at prestigious venues like San José Jazz Festival and Stanford Live, offering a unique blend of Indigenous Guaraní and Baroque influences.

This tour bridges the multicultural heritage of the Southwest with southern South America. Brittes will showcase Chamamé's connection to rivers, particularly poignant given recent flooding in his home state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. The tour supports flood relief efforts through collaborations with the Brazil California Chamber of Commerce and Santa Barbara-based Direct Relief.

Experience the vibrant rhythms of Chamamé while supporting cultural exchange and humanitarian efforts. Don't miss this celebration of music, heritage, and solidarity, realized by the Brazilian Ministry of Culture and sponsored by Arroz Prato Fino.
