About Me

The soul of the Brazilian culture in a high energetic performance. Internationally recognized and respected Show Brazil!, well known throughout the Northwest from events such as Bumbershoot and Brasilfest, has delighted audiences in the United States, Brazil and Canada for nearly twenty years. The ensemble features accomplished performers. Show Brazil!’s band leader and Music Director Eduardo Mendonça, a native of Salvador, Bahia, Brazil, traces his lineage to a royal African family bearing the hereditary title of Mamabeka (”prophet of the royal court”), as documented by the Instituto Geográfico e Histórico da Bahia. Eduardo had the honor to play for Pope John Paul II’s welcome to Brazil, former South Africa President Nelson Mandela (Seattle,WA - USA - 1999), Brazilian President João Baptista Figueiredo (Brazil 1979),the 14th Dalai Lama (Seattle, WA 2008) and was also featured in a Paul Simon documentary video in 1991.
