The Armorial Ensemble invites the audience into rural Brazil to a time when simplicity reigns and values were shared orally from one generation to the next. The Ensemble is composed of Marcello Linhos on the viola caipira and vocals, Nelson Latif on 7-string guitar, and Marcelo Lima on mandolin. The group will playfully engage the audience with the traditional instruments and songs of Brazil. Their goal is to reconnect our hearts to the rural and Inland Feeling that resides in us, simple yet elaborate at the same time. The artists have taken their music across the world. The music is for all ages.
