“Their energy is contagious, the passion unmistakable, and their precision flawless. The interplay of each and every one of the artists is intriguing and together they create music that can only be described as rapturous.”- Travis Rogers, Jr. ~The Jazz Owl

Engaging, dynamic, and captivating: that’s what people worldwide say about this smokin’ hot Brazilian quartet. San Diego Story raves, “Farofa is bringing a much-needed fresh flavor to the contemporary jazz scene.” Like "farofa", the tasty side-dish made from yucca flour, this world music band cooks up a blend of pop, jazz, Afro-Brazilian rhythms, rock, and their own originals! Farofa is propelled by the stunning virtuosity of percussionist Felipe Fraga, bassist Nando Raio, JP Mourão on guitar, and violinist Ted Falcon.

 "...they are bringing a much needed fresh breeze to the contemporary jazz scene..."
