Nayla Yenquis Group [bossa/samba/mpb]

Nayla Yenquis Group is an international band playing MPB (Música Popular Brasileira). Arising at the same time as the eclectic, innovative Tropicalia sound, MPB is a rich, poetic style that incorporates the sounds of both the Samba and Bossa Nova mixed with elements of contemporary jazz which has also contributed to the sound.

The group’s repertoire combines original songs from bossa, samba and partido alto, with jazz and soul,  along with self-arranged versions of major MPB composers such as Chico Buarque, Tom Jobim, Elis Regina and Gilberto Gil.
