A Polyphonic Ground Concert co-presented by Lula Music and Arts and Uma Nota Culture in association with Sarau Brasil.

For the first time ever in Canada, ground-breaking and award-winning Liniker e os Caramelows direct from São Paulo, Brazil!

LINIKER E OS CARAMELOWS

Fronted by captivating transgender vocalist Liniker Barros, Liniker e os Caramelows create a contemporary sound dubbed 'Brazilian Soul', which combines soul with the tropical heritage of MPB, resulting in a beautiful, emotional and energetic show. Looking deep into the eyes of the audience – you don’t have to speak Portuguese to be completely entranced, it’s universal!

The band rose to prominence in October 2015 with the YouTube release CRU, followed by their award-winning and lauded September 2016 studio album, REMONTA. After wowing crowds in Austin at SXSW in both 2017 and 2018, this summer marks Liniker's first performance in Canada!
