About this concert
In a historic encounter of musical innovators in the Afro Latin, Brazilian, and Jazz traditions, Belongo (formerly Afro Latin Jazz Alliance) and The Town Hall present an evening of musical inspiration and genre bending collaboration. Brazilian instrumentalists Yamandu Costa and Hamilton de Holanda will join the stage with Arturo O'Farrill and his mighty Afro Latin Jazz Orchestra to push the boundaries of their respective traditions and create a delicious mix of Latin Jazz, chorinho, samba, and other musics of Latin America and the African Diaspora. These three giants of their respective genres and generations, all Grammy Winning artists, composers, and improvisers, perform together for the first time on the Legendary Town Hall stage - an evening not to be missed. The show will feature compositions from each of the three principal artists, in some cases with new arrangements for O'Farrill's 18 piece big band.

Yamandú Costa is an acoustic guitar player born 1980 in Passo Fundo, a city in the southern state of Rio Grande do Sul, in Brazil. His guitar studies began when he was 7, tutored by his father, Algacir Costa, leader of the "Fronteiriços", a regional band. Later he sought to perfect his technique with Argentine virtuoso Lucio Yanel, who had at the time set his home in Brazil.
With his striking blend of regional music styles and notably energetic performances, he is touted by many as one of the greatest guitarists specialized in Brazilian music.
Yamandú plays 7-string guitar and is also a composer and arranger. In his performances, he is noted to showcase strong improvisational skills and fiery charisma.
His first name means "the precursor of the waters of the world" in Tupi-Guarani, a language spoken by native Brazilians before the arrival of the Portuguese settlers.
