Founded by Brazilian Latin Grammy-winner Diogo Brown, Gafieira Rio Miami breathes new life into gafieira, a lively cultural movement that flourished in Brazil during the 1940s and '50s. Originating from Rio de Janeiro, gafieira is more than just a musical genre; it's a way of life. These dance halls were hubs of creativity, where samba, waltz, and tango rhythms merged to create a unique, expressive sound that defied social conventions of the time.
