ABOUT BIO RITMO
Bio Ritmo is a durable and ambitious salsa collective based in Richmond, Virginia known for a classic Nuyorican salsa sound made famous by the Fania All Stars in the 1970s, that combines African Caribbean rhythms from son, bomba, plena, and samba with electronica and big band brass. They have been around for two decades now, flying under the radar on a mass-market scale but well familiar to fans of tropical dance music since their first EP release in 1995. Bio Ritmo is a very forward-thinking salsa group, one that is not afraid to mix in new sounds and ideas.
This performance in funded in part by The Virginia Commission for the Arts.
ABOUT BELEZA
United by musical interests that include samba, funk, soul, blues, bossa nova, jazz and Spanish flamenco; Humberto Oliveira Sales and Madeline Holly Sales blend the melodic, rhythmic and harmonic riches from North and South America. Berto, native to Brazil, pursued a formal education in classical guitar. His knowledge of Brazilian rhythms and study of Spanish Flamenco add to the unique finger picking style he uses. Madeline brings with her the strong influence of soul, jazz and blues. She sings in Portuguese, English and Spanish. Her sensual, rich voice, playful interpretations, and strong stage presence make their combination extremely unique. As a duo, they enrich their performances by including live percussion and vocal loops.
