Brasil Summerfest

Get ready to get sweaty. Béco Dranoff, curator of this ambitious series, calls Brazilian music “the perfect soundtrack for summertime.” Checking out the schedule for the fifth annual installment of Summerfest, whose locations range from Central Park and Lincoln Center to Bushwick and several downtown locales, we’re inclined to agree. You’re going to want to make room in your warm-weather gig schedule for magpie fusionists Nação Zumbi, who appear at SummerStage on Aug 2 (the 20th anniversary of their U.S. debut), a samba showcase at South Street Seaport on Aug 1 and the lively, percussive beats of Bahian DJ Patricktor4 at the Wick on Aug 8.
