Come learn about the cuisine, culture, and music of Brazil!

Brazil Fest is a fun new event hosted by CIE, the College of Music and Media, the Office of Student Affairs, and Loyola's Latin American Studies department. There are lots of activities and ways to get involved!

During percussion workshops, Dr. Cody Case will teach a few popular rhythms such as samba-reggae on real Brazilian percussion instruments. No experience is necessary and everyone can play!

National Book Award winner Justin Torres will be giving a reading on campus followed by a brief Q&A. Torres is the author of We the Animals (2012) and Blackouts (2023). There will be a pre-reception in front of Monroe Hall at 2:30PM with light food and beverages. This event is co-hosted by The Pirate's Alley Faulkner Society, the English Department, and the Center for Latin American and Latinx Studies.
