On Sunday, September 1st, the day before Labor Day in the United States, 6th Avenue will once again be closed to host the largest audience for Brazilian parties held outside of Brazil. The BR Day New York 2019 celebrates its 35th edition this year. As usual, the event will be filled with stars coming directly from Brazil to entertain the expected crowd of over 1 million people from various regions of the USA. Check out the lineup of artists coming this year to celebrate this great party with us:Simone & SimariaThe sertanejo duo Simone and Simaria is known throughout Brazil. Owners of hits like “Meu violão e o nosso Cachorro”, “Quando o mel é Bom”, “Regime Fechado”, “Loka”, among others, the coleguinhas (the nickname by which they are called) will present some of their many successes to the audience on 6th Avenue in a show that promises to warm up and move the nostalgic Brazilians.Before all the success and fame, “Simone and Simaria” were just Simone and
Simaria Mendes: two girls from Uibaí. Even as children, Simone and Simaria showed interest in music, and by the ages of 5 and 7, they were already participating in talent contests in the cities where they lived. At 14, Simaria passed the auditions to join Frank Aguiar’s band as a backing vocalist, and soon after, it was Simone’s turn to take the position alongside her sister.In 2007, they received the invitation to join Banda Forró do Muído, a huge success throughout the north and northeast. In the group, the sisters had great successes.In 2012, they bet on the brand Simone and Simaria and followed an independent career as a sertanejo duo. The bet was so accurate that the duo conquered all of Brazil, gaining fans wherever they go.Jorge & MateusResponsible for some of the most lively rhythms of university sertanejo, the Goiás duo Jorge & Mateus, from the city of Itumbiara, gained national prominence and are now considered one of the main duos in Brazil.The duo’s story is long.

This was the case with their new working song “Tijolão”. The single, which has already gained prominence on the internet, continues with millions of plays on music apps. In total, over ten
million people have already checked out the new hit from the Itumbiarans.The duo’s numbers are significant: 14 years of history.
