Rasta-Paix is a manifestation of passion for Brazilian music and culture, creating a fascinating fusion with forró.

Get ready for a lively night of forró featuring Julia Weiss, who’s already lit up the stage with Forró de Mané. This time, she teams up with accordionist Pascal, showing that even in Canada, there are musicians who can honor the roots of forró—with a unique Québécois influence.
