Carlinhos Brown in Paris
One of the musicians on stage with Brazilian composer Carlinhos Brown as he performs in the "le kiosque a musique" at La Villette Parc July 14, 2005 in Paris, France early evening.
Hundreds of people singed and danced with Brown and 15 musicians.
Many brazilian performances are taking place in France in 2005 as part of the "year of Brazil in France," in a effort to promote and discover the Brazilian culture.
Carlinhos Brown music is a mixture of Afro-Brazilian percussion, rock and soul music.
He worked with Gilberto Gil, Caetano Veloso, Marisa Monte, Djavan, and Jooo Bosco, to name a few.
In the '90s, Brown created the Timbalada, a drum band with more than 120 instrumentalists and singers. He promotes social-music projects directed to the poor youth of Salvador, Bahia in Brazil.
Brown gets international exposure when he composed five of the twelve tracks of "Brasileiro" that won a Grammy for best album in the "World Music" category in 1985.
