Danilo Brito was born into a home that brimmed with love for some of Brazil’s greatest music. From the day he arrived from the hospital maternity ward, he heard his father play the mandolin and from the phonograph recordings of his country’s musical treasures, especially Jacob do Bandolim. He, too, fell in love with this music and the mandolin, beginning a journey, at first unconscious, to become both guardian and scion of Brazil’s musical innovations.

For his virtual return to Kerrytown Concert House, he will show the genius embodied in compositions by Pixinguinha, João Pernambuco, Ernesto Nazareth, Luperce Miranda, and Jacob do Bandolim; and show his voice both as interpreter and composer in the performance of his own works. Joining him will be the foundation of his various groups, 7-string guitarist Carlos Moura.
