The Assemblies

Zubieta and The Suaves channel the spirit of Brazil from the heart of the UK. Fronted by the captivating voice of Marta Zubieta, this six-piece band weaves a rich tapestry of bossa nova, Afro-Brazilian samba and Latin jazz — blending golden-age classics with fresh, contemporary flair. Their sound is both nostalgic and alive, echoing the elegance of the 1950s–70s Brazilian music scene while embracing the freedom of improvisation and the warmth of deep musical chemistry. With multicultural roots and a shared passion for rhythm and soul, the band creates a unique atmosphere that draws listeners in, wherever they perform. Whether on a sunlit festival stage or in the intimacy of a bustling local pub, Zubieta and The Suaves deliver performances that are immersive, heartfelt and joyfully transportive — a celebration of culture, connection and timeless groove.
