Centered around native Brazilian Orlando Haddad (guitar, vocals, percussion), and Patricia King (keyboard,vocals), Minas reflects three decades of vocal and instrumental blending. Warm and engaging, this magical sound becomes infectious when Minas adds bass, drums, percussion and horns to Orlando's guitar and Patricia's keyboards. Based in Philadelphia since 1984, and with 5 CDs to their credit, Minas is one of the most sought after Brazilian bands in the United States, having performed at Lincoln Center, Kennedy Center, all major venues in Philadelphia, and in Rio de Janeiro, Recife, and Belo Horizonte, Brazil. Minas is built upon the duo's multiple talents as vocalists, instrumentalists and composers, with an impressive grasp of the whole range of Brazilian musical idioms, with Bossa Nova and Jazz being their specialty and love.
Featuring Special guests: Cyro Baptista(from Beat the Donkey and the Trey Anastasio band), Gerald Veasley, John Swana, Tony Salicandro, Alejandro Lucini, Jim Stager, and Brazil Productions Dancers!
