The group became popular by creating powerful cover versions of Brazilian hits\, stepping outside of the samba genre. Classics by Tim Maia\, Jorge Benjor\, Alceu Valença\, and many others were transformed into samba anthems and attracted fans from a whole new generation. During the world-famous Rio de Janeiro carnival\, Monobloco has its own parade\, which today attracts over half a million people to the streets to dance and sing. The group’s popularity soon led to the creation of a professional touring band\, which has performed extensively around Brazil and internationally\, including at the London Olympics in 2012. The group has also released several live and studio albums including the 2010 release called “10\,” which was nominated for a Latin GRAMMY for Best Samba/Pagode album. \nEducArte/Samba Jig presented Monobloco at the Patterson Theatre in Baltimore in 2016. It was a sold out show and our most exciting live performance! We are thrilled to bring them back. This concert is not to be missed! Experience the electric exuberance of Rio de Janeiro’s street carnival. \nAlso join us for a special percussion workshop with Monobloco the day before the concert\, on Tuesday\, June 28 at 7PM. Workshop participants will be invited to perform one song with the band on stage during the concert! Tickets sold separately. \nTickets: General admission\, standing room only\, $40 advance / $50 day of\nDate/time: Wednesday\, June 29 at 8PM (doors open at 7:00PM)\nLocation: Spanish Ballroom at Glen Echo Park \nAbout the venue\nThe Spanish Ballroom at Glen Echo Park is a beautifully restored 1933 Mediterranean-style Art Deco building\, listed on the National Register of Historic Places\, is considered one of the best dance halls on the east coast.
