Great Southern A capplella - Bossa Nova Boot Camp - Borboleta Preta Brazilian Choir

Borboleta Preta was born in hard lockdown when Di (Melb) & Mila (Rio) ran Virtual Brazilian choir Lab 'Braz Oz' from 2021-2023 - on the first day we met to sing live after lockdown we were surrounded by black butterflies (with small white polka dots) and Mila in Rio was also surrounded by them in the same week - a sign! Borboleta was re-born.
This new/renewed choir has 20+ voices who've been singing Brazilian music for years - we launched the second incarnation of Australia's first all Brazilian repertoire Choir here in Melbourne this Spring. BORBOLETA PRETA (Black Butterfly) is a lively group of culture & travel-loving singers and musicians who love to learn and share música Brasileira through a diverse and groove-based repertoire.
Artistic director and conductor Diana May Clark hosts Live workshops & Monthly choir rehearsals in Armadale, Melbourne.
