As part of the annual Brazil Festival, Rio de Janeiro’s popular group Casuarina is hitting the Boulder Theater.

Casuarina will be also be joined on stage by the Boulder Samba School, which is throwing the festival and performing throughout. “There’s something extra that Brazilian music seems to have that I can only call it something a little bit magical,” says Greg LaLiberte, president of the Boulder Samba School.
