About the event

Let's welcome back the Grammy nominated Virtuoso Guitarist: Diego Figueiredo for his last presentation of a Brazilian Jazz Night here at Casa Brasil.

Casa Brasil is ceasing its operations on May 31, 2023 and for this last month we will be hosting some events to celebrate our challenging yet beautiful journey of almost 5 years in business.

So, on Saturday May 13, we will open the doors of our Buteco one last time to the world famous Diego Figueiredo bringing to our stage all of his talent and musical experience.

Diego Figueiredo is an extraordinary star among the world's greatest jazz guitarists. His superb technique, timing and imagination have made him one of the hottest international names right now. He has a very unique skills and his concert have been a great success in more than 60 countries around the world.

Diego has recorded and performed with so many big names, including Gilberto Gil, João Bosco, Roberto Menescal, Toquinho, Belchior, Fafá de Belém, Angela Maria, Toninho Horta, Larry Coryell, Ken Peplowski, Lewis Nash, John Clayton, Cyrille Aimée and many others.

Opening for Diego will be a Pittsburgh based and Casa Brasil's resident artist Lilly Abreu. For the last 3 years, Lilly Abreu's Trio have hosted a monthly Bossa Nights at our Buteco event space highlighting Bossa Nova classics. For this special evening Lilly will be accompanied by Zé Maria, a Brazilian guitarist also based here in Pittsburgh. Her soothing voice and charm plus Zé Maria's talent and charisma will be the perfect introduction to Diego's performance and will get you set for a beautiful night of Brazilian Jazz.

“GRAMMY nominated guitarist Diego Figueiredo is a virtuoso with a joyful feeling that will leave you amazed and happy”. His fusion of American Jazz and many forms of traditional Brazilian music, is excitingly innovative, modern, and wild!

“Diego Figueiredo is one of the greatest guitarists I’ve seen in my whole life”. The world needs to listen to his music.
