BMF’s 2nd International MPB Festival (Brazilian Popular Music) includes the participation of more than 25 professional musicians from different parts of the world performing a selection of over 20 Brazilian MPB hits from 60’to 80’s.
The idea of the Festival is to promote Brazilian Popular Music around the world and to give an opportunity to musicians to showcase their work.
MPB is a music genre that emerged in Brazil in the mid-1960s, in the city of Rio de Janeiro with the second generation of bossa nova. It is a trend of post-bossa nova urban popular music that revisits typical Brazilian styles such as samba, samba-canção, baião and other Brazilian regional music.

“The Future of Our Children”
Program
“We believe that music can improve the quality of life of individuals and their families, which promotes a happier and healthier society. We will create musical programs that will enable a child to feel like an asset to their respective community. Playing a musical instrument has many benefits, but most importantly, it can bring joy to you and everyone around you. We hope to promote the presence of Brazilian heritage in a city that is known for its rich cultural diversity.”
