Nation Beat January 6, 2013

Which nation, and which beat? What makes the American/Brazilian collective Nation Beat special is that it offers no simple answers. They are rhythm gatherers, harvesting the fruit of 500 years of cultural crossbreeding, which is why the sounds of the northeast of Brazil and the southern United States blend together so seamlessly; NPR's All Things Considered music writer Banning Eyre calls them "the most original and alluring fusion group I have heard in years."
We are pleased to host Nation Beat as part of our integrated series at N4th Theatre, where we bring musicians to perform for the developmentally disabled artists at N4th and invite the community to come join the fun and see the great work they do there. Community spots are limited to 60 people and reservations are required.
