PART II:

Live performance of Brazilian music by Minas.

Orlando Haddad and Patricia King formed Minas in 1978 at the University of North Carolina School of the Arts. Multi-talented as composers, vocalists and instrumentalists, and equally comfortable in Brazilian festive music and jazz, folk and classical genres, Minas' various performance styles have placed them in front of every kind of audience and venue.
