Lambrego | Fernando Machado

Lambrego, led by Fernando Machado, is a World Music ensemble that composes, arranges and performs songs inspired by the Brazilian song-writing tradition. Drawing on the very roots of Afro-Brazilian music tradition, Lambrego gives respect to its cultural foundation while challenging its boundaries. Through free improvisation and dynamic arrangements, Lambrego gives the audience an unexpected and exciting experience of modern-day Brazilian music.

Lambrego have expanded their activity with an early year’s branch called “Little Worlds of Music”, an interactive performance-workshop dedicated to children from 0-5 years old and parents.

Lambrego have also released two independent albums of original compositions, Lambrego (2007) and Cheiro de Saudade (2014), and produced Archway Groovy Tots (2013) in partnership with the Archway Children’s Centre.
