SUBJECT: A CENTURY OF SAMBA RSVP
Join Brazilian American musician Beto Gonzalez, with members of his
band Samba Society, as they take you on a journey through 100 years of
samba history. Urban samba has its beginnings in Rio de Janeiro at the
musical gatherings of the city’s Bahian matriarchs who lived in the
region referred to today as the “Little Africa” of Rio. It was at one
of these eventful gatherings (attended by not only local musicians,
but also historians, journalists, and probably even some politicians)
that the song “Pelo Telephone” was collectively written, then later
“copyrighted” by the musician Donga, and recorded in 1916.
The song, labeled as a “samba,” was a major hit during Carnaval of the
following year and has since become widely accepted as “the first
recorded samba.”
The musicians of Samba Society will transport the audience through a
century of samba. Our musical timeline will cover batuque to the first
sambas at the turn of the 20th century, the golden era of radio in the
1930s, Carmen Miranda and Hollywood in the 1940s and 50s, Bossa Nova
and the military dictatorship in the 1960s, the rise of Afro-Brazilian
identity in the 1970s, the commercial success of pagode in the 1980s
and 90s, and finally to the designation of samba in the 2000s as an
Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO.
Musicians include:
Beto González, Artistic Director: vocals/percussion/guitar
Simon Carroll: vocals/percussion
Bobby Easton: vocals/percussion

Born in Rio de Janeiro in 1983, Fabiano do Nascimento studied classical piano and music theory as a young boy. From the time he played his first notes on the guitar at age twelve, he devoted himself to that instrument. Fabiano was born into a musical family, a lineage that goes back to his great-grand-father “Ladario Teixeira”. Who was a Blind virtuoso saxophone player, who contributed to the creation of the instrument itself, re-inventing the saxophone, adding more keys to the older “Aldolph Sax” version of the saxophone. More about Ladario Teixeira can be found in the encyclopedia BARSA. Fabiano Studied with Dalmo Motta at the Conservatorio de Musica Brasileira in Rio de Janeiro, and with his Uncle, the Late Lucio Nascimento in his early teenage years.
Always fascinated by Brazilian music and American jazz. Self-taught, through intense research and practice, developed exceptional skill. In 2000, Fabiano left Brazil for California, Los Angeles, where he soon became in demand for his authentic sound. Connected early with the Woodwind player Pablo Calogero, and Percussionist Tiki Passillas, forming “Triorganico”. Brazilian flavored, Latin Jazz trio, recording their first album Triorganico – Convivencia under the Label of “Stonesthrow and Now-Again”. Also recorded and worked with many artists including Airto Moreira, Mia Doi Todd, Aloe Blacc, Sumiko Fukatsu, Ted Falcon, Arthur Verocai, Draco Rosa, Justo Almario, Ronaldo Freitas (Carioca), Pablo Fagundes, Sam Gendel, and many more…
Fabiano’s latest works is his Duo Album “SUL” with young brilliant Saxophonist Sam Gendel and with Singer songwritter Mia Doi Todd on her new Brazilian album “Floresta” and now a brand new release through Now Again records titled “Dança dos Tempos” featuring legendary Brazilian percussionist Airto Moreira.
