Orquestra Mocambo

**Orquestra Mocambo** is a vibrant Brazilian collective known for reviving and reimagining classic samba and regional rhythms with a modern, genre-blurring twist. Hailing from São Paulo, the group formed in the 2010s as a celebration of Brazil’s rich musical heritage, blending punchy brass arrangements, percussive grooves, and infectious energy. Their sound nods to legendary samba and forró icons while infusing elements of funk, jazz, and even psychedelia, creating a dancefloor-ready vibe that feels both timeless and fresh.

Recent tracks like *“A ‘Furioza’ Do Caetano”* and *“Bailarico das Novais”* showcase their knack for playful reinterpretations, breathing new life into obscure Brazilian gems or crafting originals that echo the spirit of 1960s/70s MPB (Música Popular Brasileira). With a rotating lineup of skilled musicians and a commitment to analog warmth, Orquestra Mocambo has become a go-to for fans of retro-futuristic Brazilian grooves, earning love from both vinyl collectors and festival crowds alike.
