YES! THEY ARE BACK IN CHICAGO FOR A BIG FORRO PARTY!

In 2006, O Brasilerinho covered a forro concert in Chicago that was unique and bold. Chicago had just won it's best Forro Band ever. We were impressed by the performance of the group that got everybody's attention from day one. After a few months without performing and being reformulated, they will be back on the stage to in a unique performance next Saturday, August 11th at Fusion Fire, a Brazilian restaurant and music venue in Villa Park, 15 minutes from the Loop.

OBITV will have a mini-studio there to capture exclusive images of the event, interview guests, give souvenirs and gifts away and much more. I will be for sure a memorable event for everyone. Don't miss it! For more information click here.
