**Alcides Neto - Am&uacute; Album Launch presented by BEMAC and Music In Exile** 

**Alcides Neto** is a Brazilian composer and multi-instrumentalist based in Narrm/Melbourne. Drawing inspiration from the folk traditions of his homeland, Alcides offers a fresh perspective on Brazilian music by blending traditional rhythms with contemporary Brazilian jazz, samba, bossa and more. Known for his distinctive percussive guitar playing and warm, soothing vocals, he brings an authentic Brazilian feel to every performance. 

This year, Alcides will launch his debut album* Am&uacute;* via the Music in Exile label. Featuring eight original compositions recorded at Head Gap Studios, Melbourne with a band made up of some of the finest players that city has to offer, Am&uacute; is a nostalgic, celebratory journey into the landscapes of Alcides' homeland. It reminisces on the cultural traditions and family networks left behind, while looking hopefully to new horizons up ahead. For fans of Gilberto Gil, Jorge Ben Jor, and all the samba greats.
