Description of the Project:
In creating a sound for the Rio Olympics, we had to be 100% authentic in the musical approach and not just add a few Brazilian instruments to an orchestral score - so we built it from scratch.
Once we sketched the score and approach, we gathered fantastic Brazilian percussionists and had an all out jam fest, injecting the spirit into Rhapsody in Blue and transforming it into a Samba festival.
