The Latin Choir Brisbane started with a group of women from diverse cultural backgrounds that are passionate about Latin American music. Our repertoire includes songs from various rhythms, languages, countries and times, representing the multiplicity of the Latin American culture.
The choir is comprised of amateur singers who value the joy of singing together and is conducted by Ricardo Bona and Tania Balil, music educators and professional musicians who bring an array of techniques and arrangements to enrich our repertoire. We communicate and sing in Spanish, Portuguese and sometimes English, even though we are not necessarily fluent in all these languages. Thus, anyone willing to sing in different languages is very welcome.
Since Tania has been conducting the Latin Choir Brisbane has performed at various community events in the Brisbane area, including at the Woodfordia Folk Club, Various Festa Junina's organised by the Brazilian community in SEQld, the Laura St Festival, and many other community events. They have hosted two Viva la Vida events, collaborating with other ensembles such as Las Chimilitas, Forrobodoz, The Mad Mariachi, and Flipside Circus.
