Gafiera Rio Miami with special guest Nestor Torres

The Finale of the South Beach Jazz Festival closes with an explosion of Brazilian rhythm and style, featuring Gafieira Rio Miami, an electrifying 11-piece big band founded by Brazilian Latin Grammy–winner Diogo Brown, with special guest Latin Grammy Award–winning flutist Nestor Torres. Together, they deliver an irresistible blend of samba, bossa nova, choro, and jazz—capturing the spirit, sophistication, and soul of Brazil.

With Torres’s expressive, virtuosic flute and the band’s high-energy arrangements, this performance promises to be a dazzling, dance-filled celebration—the perfect crescendo to the South Beach Jazz Festival.
