NOTICIAS DO BRASIL
BRAZIL NUTS
Marianna Brain, 40th Birthday, Hampshire
Many thanks for your message and I'm sorry it's taken awhile to get back to you but we've had an invasion of family and friends post my husband's 40th birthday party! Just to say thank you for helping facilitate getting Viramundo to play for us at the party. They were as terrific as we remembered them 9 years ago at our wedding! Everyone had a really wonderful evening and they were absolutely fantastic! The band arrived in really good time and were extremely easy going and 'low maintenance'. They played superbly well and I would have no trouble in recommending them to anyone looking for a Brazilian band.
Kate Dawson, McCann Erickson, Solihull Carnival
Viramundo were fantastic and I really don’t know what we would have done without them! They arrived on time, were ready on time and really got the crowd going. The dancers really engaged with the crowd and got everybody in the carnival spirit and when the parade went faster than intended they were more than happy to do another half a lap of the centre. We were really impressed with their performance.
Hala Mustafa, Wedding, London
As promised I would like to feedback on Viramundo who I booked for my wedding on 16th Feb. I am sure you will recall that I had wanted a particular sound and instruments. Well, I can hardly thank them enough. They exceeded our expectations. They were punctual, professional, listened to my requests, played wonderfully - in fact they whipped up a storm. We loved them, I am over the moon. They made a very unique and memorable contribution to our wedding day. Please pass our thanks and delight on to each of them. Thank you again - they were worth every penny.
Past performances include: Gran Gran Fiesta, Henley Festival, Glastonbury Festival, Notting Hill Carnival, Sidmouth International Folk Festival, Top Hotel functions at the Hilton, Carlton, Hyatt Carlton, Grosvenor and Savoy hotels, Benefit concerts for Friends of the Earth, Save the Children, Amnesty International, Greenpeace and Task Brazil.
Regular appearances at Latin Clubs in the UK (Bahia, Bar Tiempo, Bass Clef, HQ, 100 Club, Salsa, Havana, Cuba
