Nation Beat 6/30/16 CFA Courtyard, Wesleyan

Nation Beat is a Brooklyn collective that plays an amalgam of Brazilian funk and New Orleans party music. Charismatic female singer/percussionist, guitar, bass, and drums filled the air on a beautiful night out in Middletown. Original songs sung in English and Spanish gave a positive view of the recently embattled Brazil. In true Latin style, the singer jumped off stage and shimmied with the crowd before launching into a show ending conga line.
