Mambista Summer at Brockwell Park Community Greenhouses wouldn’t be complete without an evening spent in the company of Alvorada and their repertoire of choro tunes and rhythms from Rio.
Based in London, Alvorada are the UK’s leading performers of choro, a rich and uplifting style of instrumental music from Rio de Janeiro. Alvorada explore influences from all over Brazil, playing choros with the irresistible swing of samba and maxixe from the South to bai?o from the Northeast, all with a swing and vibrancy that nourishes the soul.
Alvorada’s debut album First Light contains choro classics and original works, revisiting the genre with influences from the UK.

We put on our Gigs at the Greenhouses to let people hear brilliant music, enjoy our lovely gardens and to raise money so that the community can benefit from BPCG seven days a week.
Getting to us
BPCG is in the middle of Brockwell Park, between the tennis courts and the walled gardens. Follow the signs.
If you are driving to the gig, we recommend parking your car on Dulwich Road or near Dulwich Road.
Entrance and exit from the Park should be via the Park’s Lido Gates on Dulwich Road.
The park will be dark when you leave the gig so everyone must leave in groups with torches.
Food & Drink
Delicious home-made hot food, botanical cocktails, local craft beer and organic wine will be on sale.
Book your food with your ticket to avoid disappointment and let us know if you have any allergies.
