Hello everyone! This is a very special post promoting a new and very promising Montreal-based collective called les Essentiels du Brésil dedicated to the brazilian social dances in Montreal, Canada. This collective is mainly managed by 3 people: Vanessa Vieira (president), a Paulista who recently moved from Sao Paulo to Montreal; Pierre-Henri Dobill (treasurer), a Cameroon native who established residency in Canada after graduating from University in Montpellier, France, a bit more than 10 years ago. Finaly there’s the official photo-documentarist of the group, Dioni Pereira (secretaire), who well completes the young and promising team!
Their History:
‘Initially, it was just a fortuitous idea, an exciting thought exchanged a little hastily, here and there, between two cafes, two dances. A desire that arose out of the randomness of conversations and that lives accordingly to the capricious seasons of existences immersed in the banalities of the ordinary.
Marcos Brasil was Pierre-Henri’s dance teacher. Vanessa met Marcos. Marcos introduced Pierre-Henri to Vanessa who was Dionì’s friends and Dionì in turn became the friend of Pierre-Henri.
While some encounters are intentionally provoked, there are others that just respond to this mysterious logic that stands beyond our understanding and that we commonly like to call: Chance.’
So to celebrate the new coming in Brazilian-related events here in Montreal, I recorded a very special mix with some of my hottest Samba Soul taken from my own personal brazilian record collection! Hope you like it!!
