9Sounds of Brazil
S.O.B.’s, also known as Sounds of Brazil, is a live music venue in the lower Manhattan neighborhood of SoHo and it specializes in global beats hailing from everywhere south of the equator.
In a nutshell, S.O.B’s embraces NYC’s diversity, and is a quality place to get your groove on. S.O.B.’s was opened by owner and director Larry Gold way back in 1982 with the purpose of exposing the musical wealth and heritage of the Afro-Latino Diaspora to as many people as possible.
For newer performers, a show at SOBs can be the springboard for their careers, garnering them press from mainstream local, national and even international publications as well as attracting attention from music industry professionals.
This has been the true with uncounted artists, including John Legend, Erykah Badu, Kanye West, Common, Drake & Ryan Leslie.
Today the SOBs draws both local and international crowds and continues to specialize in Latin music, Haitian, Brazilian, Caribbean, R&B, Hip-Hop and World music.
