González. says “Brazilian music has a long history in Los Angeles beginning with Carmen Miranda, who came to Hollywood in 1939. Samba—as many other culturally-specific genres being played in L.A.—is homegrown, not just imported from Brazil. We are part of a generation that is creating Brazilian music right here. We are an L.A. band with roots in Brazil.”
