Latin Grammy Award-winning Brazilian singer-songwriter Vanessa da Mata is coming to Atlanta next month.
Da Mata will be drawing from her four studio albums ranging from carimbó samba and sertaneja music to delight fans of traditional Brazilian music and its various flavors. On April 4, 2018, she will perform at the Buckhead Theatre located on Roswell Road NW.
She received a Latin Grammy for Best Contemporary Brazilian Pop Album. After intense touring, da Mata issued her first live album in an audio-video package entitled Multishow ao Vivo.
In the spring of 2013, she experienced a spike in popularity when she was sponsored by Nivea to produce a series of free concerts in a handful of large Brazilian cities. These shows featured songs from composer Tom Jobim. The shows were such a hit, that da Mata continued the tour even after the sponsorship ended.
Hey Atlanta, don’t miss your chance to see Vanessa da Mata at Buckhead Theatre on Wednesday, April 4th! Grab those tickets now! https://t.co/HjHQNjj53Q#EquipeVDM pic.twitter.com/mIJs6uQNe8— Vanessa da Mata (@vanessadamata) March 20, 2018

What else would you expect from Three Stacks? The man that gave us “Hey Ya” and a generation’s worth of Southern-fried anthems is at it again. Andre Benjamin, one half of the Atlanta rap brand, OutKast, is designing Tretorns.
The shoe game has always been a fly-by-night endeavor for celebrities. But something about this one just feels so right. The “I André Benjamin will not draw in class” capsule collection is here, people.
The line features 10 unique designs, including a subdued update to the classic Tretorn sneaker many of us grew up with. Those fans aching for new music will have to bump the old jams instead. Content to know that one of the world’s dopest creators has — momentarily — put down the mic and picked up the pencil to sketch beautiful creations that go on feet.
The brand says that most of the inspirations come from a fresh mixture of Tretorn’s prep pedigree and Andre’s classroom daydream sketches.
