Lúdica Música!

Lúdica Música! is a music group from Juiz de Fora, Minas Gerais state, in Brazil. It was formed in 1991 and specialises in MPB (Música Popular Boa - Good Popular Music). Members of the band are Rosana Britto (voice, guitar, percussion, musical direction) and Isabella Ladeira (voice, percussion), who were founder members, and Gutti Mendes (voice, guitar, percussion), who joined them in 2003. The group performs many of their own songs, as well as covers of Brazilian and international music, including songs by the Beatles. They have performed more than 3,000 concerts in Brazil and Europe (including five Portuguese seasons and two in Italy). In recent years they have spent several periods in the Portuguese town of Maia, under a project called "Maia embraces Minas Gerais", in which they both give concerts and provide training courses in Brazilian music for young people.^[1][2][3][4]
