Flávia Nascimento and Tio Chorinho: The Feeling of Free

Flávia Nascimento and Tio Chorinho: The Feeling of Free

Texto em português após o inglês

Spend your night with us soaking up a sunset! Access our terrace directly from Elgin Street, the canal, or the Mackenzie King Bridge and take in the best free beats offered in Ottawa this summer.

Flávia Nascimento and Tio Chorinho deliver a vibrant, high-energy performance blending Brazilian choro, samba, forró, and original compositions. Audiences can expect virtuoso musicianship, soulful vocals, dynamic rhythms, and playful improvisation. Flávia’s infectious stage presence brings audiences into the performance, often interacting and dancing with the crowd. Together with Tio Chorinho—Canada’s first choro ensemble and 2025 Canadian Folk Music Award winners—they celebrate the richness of Brazilian music while presenting their own original repertoire.

Flávia Nascimento and Tio Chorinho are two of Canada’s leading Brazilian-rooted artists, electrifying audiences at folk, jazz, and world music festivals nationwide. Flávia, Brazilian-born and Quebec-based, brings soulful vocals, powerful songwriting, and an infectious stage presence. Toronto’s Tio Chorinho, Canada’s first choro ensemble and 2025 Canadian Folk Music Award winners, thrill with virtuosity and dynamic performances. Together, they celebrate Brazil’s original soul music and their own compositions.

Admission is free, but space on the Wood Terrace is limited to 400 guests and available on a first-come, first-served basis. Seating is limited and cannot be reserved, so we recommend arriving early and bringing a chair to enjoy an evening of music and entertainment. For guests arriving after capacity is reached, an overflow seating area outside the Wood Terrace with an obstructed view will be available.

Flávia Nascimento e Tio Chorinho formam uma dupla épica, composta por dois dos principais artistas canadenses de música folk com raízes brasileiras. Juntos, eles têm eletrizado o público em festivais de folk, jazz e world music por todo o Canadá.

Nascida no Brasil, mas radicada em Quebec há mais de 20 anos, Flávia Nascimento possui uma voz comovente e composições poderosas, o que é apenas o começo de sua explosiva personalidade musical. Ela se conecta profundamente com o público, frequentemente descendo do palco no meio da apresentação para dançar com pessoas de todas as idades e origens, tornando-as parte do espetáculo.

Sua presença alegre é perfeitamente complementada pelo grupo torontoniano Tio Chorinho, cujo álbum mais recente, Tempestuoso, conquistou o prêmio de Grupo Instrumental do Ano no Canadian Folk Music Awards de 2025. Primeiro conjunto canadense dedicado ao choro, Tio Chorinho encanta e emociona o público com seu virtuosismo, dinamismo e repertório único. Juntamente com Flavia, eles atuam como embaixadores da música soul brasileira para o público canadense, apresentando também suas próprias composições originais.
