Latest reviews of our Brazilian Bands in Derry (Londonderry)

"We booked Sambossa for our wedding on the 13th of June in Suffolk, and we couldn’t have been happier with the choice we made. Being half Brazilian, they were the perfect band for me and my wife. As a lover of Bossa Nova, I thought they were just incredible. So many of our guests came up to us throughout the day to say how impressed they were by the music, the band, and also their energy. It was genuinely an incredible day, and we were so happy that Sambossa were able to play during our wedding reception, as well as for our first dance. We asked them to play “At Last” by Etta James, which they learnt in the space of just two weeks. Carolina’s voice is genuinely incredible, and the whole band were fantastic. Paul was also really flexible and helpful while we were organising everything, and again, we couldn’t be happier with how it all turned out. Thank you guys so much. I would definitely recommend Sambossa to anyone who loves Bossa Nova, Brazilian music, or wants a beautiful international mix at their event. They are definitely a band to book."

"Sambossa were amazing! They played at our wedding drinks party in London and brought such a warm, sunny, vibrant energy, everyone was dancing. So many guests told me how brilliant they were and how great the vibe felt. I’d 100% recommend them to anyone, they really know how to get people going with their Brazilian sound. I’d happily book them again, and I’m already following them on Instagram to catch more of their gigs. They’re such a gem!"

FAQs about hiring Brazilian bands in Derry (Londonderry)

Take the stress out of hiring musicians with Encore

Can any brazilian band play my favourite song?

Professional brazilian bands will often take requests, but you will need to give them plenty of notice. Please also keep in mind that brazilian bands may ask for an small additional fee to prepare songs that aren't already on their song list. You can view the brazilian band's song list on their Encore profile.

How much time do brazilian bands take to set up?

Your brazilian band will usually arrive about an hour or so before their performance begins to set up and get settled before they start playing. To avoid any delays, make sure the performance space is ready for the brazilian band prior to their arrival.

My venue has asked for the performer’s PLI & PAT inspection certificates. What are these?

PLI stands for Public Liability Insurance. This insurance covers damage to another person or their property (it is also known as third party insurance). As many of our brazilian bands are members of the Musician's Union, they are already covered by PLI up to £10 million. PAT stands for portable appliance testing. Most of our brazilian bands will already have a PAT inspection certificate for their musical equipment/PA system, which they can provide to your venue if they need it.
