Irish Music by Brazilian band in Rio de Janeiro

This is for those who like Brazil, Ireland and music. Since 2006 on the road, the Brazilian group Café Irlanda is gaining more space on the night of the wonderful city. As the name implies, the band that presents the best of traditional Irish music also put a little taste of Brazil taste, which is clear for example in the version of song Feira de Mangaio.

The musicians define the group as a product of the internet, it was through the network that the members met in search of information, marked a first date to play together, and this meeting have already left with the idea of group formation.
