Brazilian greats, large and small. Roots music of the African diaspora. American jazz and everything in the nooks and crannies and in between.
Boca do Rio is musicá organica -- live music played live.
The music is inspired by the thousands of musicians and the music lovers that have gone before us and laid the rhythmic foundations of samba, baião, samba-reggae, the dances for the orishas, and all that gives homage to the beats. It is the African diaspora alive through rhythms and pulses – it is the commonality that binds humans to the air we breathe, the food from which we nourish, the water we imbibe, and the love through which we flourish.
Boca do Rio exists to share and celebrate music and everything that it brings to our lives through the cross-pollination of the Americas. It’s the water that flows from mountains to oceans, from inside to out. It’s the earth beneath our feet, the soil beneath the concrete, the minerals from the stars that grace each of our cells.
It's been so long since I've been to a show and heard your great sounds. Hope all is well with you guys. When is the next time you perform in San Francisco?

thanks for supporting The American Economy! you should come hear us play Beer Friday @ Devil's Canyon Brewery Friday, January 30th 6-8PM for a free, all ages show in Belmont :)
I think I may have the distinction of being Vivendo de Pao's first fan. Certainly among the first to hear what would later become a North Beach phenom! Thank you Kevin, for introducing me to the wonderful world of Brazilian sounds.
Oi bocas locas! Hope you guys can make it to the show!
Come join the celebration over the release of our new CD – Boteco!!
‘Boteco’ is an artful mixture of neo-futuristic traditional Brazilian rhythms with the right quantity of the best North American spices. It is funk and rock boiling and baking with samba, maracatu, frevo and baiao.
Put Pele and Mohammed Ali in a fictional mix machine. Now add Frank Zappa, Sergio Mendes, Tom Jobim and Roger Waters and fused in to one. What a mix eh? Bat Makumba is this fusion, multiplied by 2.
CD Release Parties: 10/31 Someday Lounge – Portland, OR 11/01 Cozmic Pizza – Eugene, OR 11/06 Moe’s Alley – Santa Cruz, CA 11/07 The Old Ironsides – Sacramento, CA 11/13 The Great American Music Hall – San Francisco, CA 11/21 Stage Door – Mount Shasta, CA 12/04 Harp Inn – Costa Mesa, CA 12/05 Santa Monica Bar & Grille – Santa Monica, CA ...more to come
