Samba Squad at Lula Lounge(May 20)

Featuring special guest vocalists Luanda Jones,
Lester McClean and Andrea Dia

Samba Squad gathers diverse global influences and drops them in a seething cauldron to produce raw, vibrant and drum-heavy original compositions that rock the New Canadian Songbook. Rick Lazar has put together this special night of both new compositions and originals from Samba Squad’s well-loved repertoire – with some funked-up covers of traditional pieces thrown in for good measure. Featuring emerging Brazilian singer/songwriter Luanda Jones.
