About Jacaré Brazil Ensemble
Specializing in the musical traditions of Latin America's largest nation, UF's Jacaré Brazil represents the most diverse performance ensemble of its kind within a university performing arts program. It comprises four complementary ensemble sections: percussion, vocal, guitar, and instrumental choro. Each semester, specific repertoires combine these sections into unique ensemble groupings featuring guest artists of faculty and students (undergraduate and graduate) from within the School of Music, other units on campus, and the wider music community. Guest artists from international arenas frequently perform with the group, fostering a rich and diverse artistic and cultural collaboration environment. A vibrant part of the World Music and Graduate Program in Ethnomusicology at UF, Jacaré Brazil is supported through the Center for Arts, Migration and Entrepreneurship (CAME), the School of Music, the Center for Latin American Studies, and Jim Theriac.
