About
Brazil Nuts is a Latin band for hire in Adelaide, SA.
Old-school hits with a Brazilian accent. Brazil Nuts Orchestra covers the songs every generation can sing, My Girl, Stand By Me, Sweet Caroline, Rock Around the Clock, then folds in Brazilian and classical numbers you won't hear from any other band that night. The Adelaide group comes in three sizes: a quartet for cocktail parties and smaller corporate events, a quintet for a livelier feel, and a full 10 piece with horn section, percussion and vocals for the big rooms. The set book runs to around 80 songs. They need a covered 3 by 3 metre space and a power point, with the rest depending on the event.

The show
Old-school hits from around the world, the ones every generation can sing without being taught. Brazil Nuts Orchestra then fold in Brazilian and classical numbers you almost certainly weren't expecting on the same set list, and that mix is what makes the night feel unlike other bands. People of all ages end up dancing and singing along, which is a harder trick than it sounds when the room spans three generations.
On the day
A covered space of at least 3 by 3 metres and a power point are the minimum. Everything else depends on which line-up you book and what the event is, since a quartet at a cocktail party and a 10 piece with horns are very different propositions for a stage. Brazil Nuts Orchestra will confirm the specifics once they know the room.
