Minas

maintains its cool, even at its most racing tempos; always urbane, sophisticated, and contemporary. --City Paper

Led by Orlando and Patricia Haddad, Minas’ impact on the Philadelphia music and cultural scene has been a constant since 1984, when the couple moved from Rio de Janeiro to The City of Brotherly Love. They introduced Philadelphia audiences to Brazilian Carnaval, founded the city’s first samba drum troupe - Philasamba, and have presented educational programs introducing the music of Brazil in schools for more than half a million children.
