| Nanny Assis: A Brazilian Experience - Arts Garage - Delray Beach, FL - September 3rd at 8pm The music that Nanny Assis does today is not played in Brazil anymore. "But here in the United States, it's still loved because it speaks to the music that was made here in the 1960s. I think I kind of got stuck in that time." Assis bring elements of all rhythms. "It's as if I was throwing a fruit salad in a blender, and you get all those different flavors, " shares Assis. This mixture of styles derives from the two cities in which he has lived for most of his life. Salvador, in the northeast of Brazil, where Assis was born and raised, and New York, where he currently lives. Living in New York inspires Assis to blend elements from different communities, and generates rich music with an accent from around the world.
