Banana da Terra (BDT) is a North Carolina based trio that brings original Brazilian music with influences of late 60’s to early 70’s music (Bossa Nova, Jazz, Rock, Samba). All original compositions are purposefully sung in Portuguese which is used for its melodic, musical nature and for its soothing sounds which helps to counterbalance the driving, syncopated, and upbeat rhythms of the drums.
