Chimarruts performs in São Paulo state in December: See dates and venues.

About to earn its first gold record (for the debut album Chimarruts), and already with 20,000 copies sold of its second release, "Todos Somos Um", CHIMARRUTS is preparing to take over the rest of the country. Formed by Rafael Machado (vocals), Nê (vocals, quena flute and harmonica), Tati Portela (vocals), Diego Dutra (drums), Vini Marques (percussion), Emerson Alemão (bass), Sander Fróis (guitar) and Rodrigo Djak! (guitar), CHIMARRUTS have been consolidating their career with hits, major shows and music videos. Highly experienced, the group, which has already taken part in events alongside major national and international bands, arrives in São Paulo for a series of shows. The songs from the band's two albums ("Chapéu de Palha", "Iemanjá", "Pra Ela", "Cabelo", "Floripa" and, from the recently released second work, "Deixa Chover" and "Pitanga") and the covers (Bob Marley, Gilberto Gil, among others), combined with all the positive energy and vibration of the band and the audience, only confirm CHIMARRUTS' outstanding performance on stage. CHIMARRUTS wants to conquer Brazil! And with its message of peace, love and fraternity, and all the swing of its songs, it will hardly fail to do so. Below are the details of the band's confirmed shows in the state of São Paulo:
