Formed in the late 80's, multi award winning group Viramundo are the UK & Europe's longest established Brazilian/Latin band. They bring together a glittering array of the best International performers & talented Brazilian artists.

They pride ourselves in being an exciting stage & recording band that can augment the basic sextet to include keyboards & horn section when required. Get the real carnival experience by adding extra percussionists forming their own independent 'bateria'.

Raise the bar further & include their beautiful dancers & capoeira artists to complete the show. They present only the best Brazilian performers available in Europe.
