About
Gustavo Andrade & The Brasukas / Banda Zuêra / roda de samba subiu ao palco a 2 de outubro de 2026, Brudenell Social Club, em Leeds.
Top Leeds world music promoter DJ Lubi hosts a big autumn Brazilian music show at Brudenell Social Club on Friday 2nd October 2026. Two great UK Brazilian music bands plus a traditional community samba jam session.
Headliners are Gustavo Andrade & The Brasukas, undisputedly the best Brazilian band in the north of England. Led by Sao Paulo saxophonist/percussionist Gustavo Andrade, they perform the full spectrum of Brazilian music - Samba, MPB (Música Popular Brasileiro), Samba Rock, Axé, Forró, Frevo, Brazilian soul/disco and even urban Brazilian beats of Baile Funk. They play classic Brazilian music by artists such as Leci Brandao, Seu Jorge, Sergio Mendes, Jorge Ben, Ivete Sangalo, Tim Maia, Sonia Santos, Tom Jobim, Gilberto Gil, Ed Motta, Alcione and Djavan.
For the last three years, their annual Brazilian Carnival tour dates across the country have seen them sell out shows at Blues Kitchen Manchester, Peggy's Skylight Nottingham, Brudenell Leeds, Cobalt Studios Newcastle, The Fox & Firkin London, Band On The Wall Manchester, and The Jazz Bar Edinburgh. Last February they sold out Belgrave Music Hall Leeds in mid February for Brazil Carnival, and then three weeks later, brought 350 people to Brudenell for a last minute show for a cancelled gig. Proof that they have a great local following now in Leeds.
Support band is Banda Zuêra, led by Newcastle master percussionist Nik Alevroyiannis, band leader/percussionist and director of the longtime Geordie samba school DrumDin. They play Samba Reggae, Axé and Baile Funk, a mix of covers and originals.
Before they take to the stage, there will be a community samba jam in the middle of the dancefloor - called a "samba de roda" in Brazil - featuring musicians from both bands playing popular samba and pagode tunes. If you were at the last Brasukas show in March, you'll remember how popular this jam was. In between the live music, DJ Lubi will be spinning his usual mix of classic and new Brazilian music.
Doors and roda de samba 7.30pm. Banda Zuêra 8.30pm. The Brasukas 9.15pm.
