Doral shows love for Brazil with independence celebration

¡Doral muestra el amor por Brasil con la celebración de la independencia!

The Government Center came alive on September 26, with the Doral Heart Brazil event, highlighting Brazil’s rich culture. The reception and art exhibit proudly celebrated Brazil’s Independence Anniversary of 195 years.

For the special occasion, Doral Mayor J.C. Bermudez and members of the city council presented Ambassador Adalnio Senna Ganem, Consul General of Brazil, with a proclamation for Brazil Day 2017.

There was no shortage of colorful Brazilian culture for the night, with art from award-winning, Brazilian artists and photographers: Graziella Gadia, Di Roberto, Jade Matarazzo, Ivonete Leite, Mariza Formaggini, Didi Marchi, Clara Piquet, and special participation of Fernanda Frangetto. The exhibition was open for the public to experience at the Doral Government Center through October 11.

Frangetto, a Doral resident and artist, unveiled her most recent an art installation, “Band,” at the event, and also donated a commemorative trophy creation in honor of the fight against cancer for the American Cancer Society’s Doral 2017 Relay for Life event, Nov. 18 in Downtown Doral Park.

Event attendees were moving and grooving thanks to the Beatriz Malnic Trio, who played typical Bossa nova from Brazil. Youth participation was not lacking with the American and Brazilian anthems performed by Ronald Reagan-Doral Senior High students, Jade Santos and Genesis Guevara with Giovanna Basso, respectively. To top it all off, delicious hors d’oeuvre like Salpicão, Pastelzinho de Carne and Pão-de-queijo, transported guests to the exotic country.

Doral truly does love Brazil and it was made evident by this great celebration congratulating Brazil, its citizens and those of Brazilian descent for their cultural richness and contributions to the world! We thank our partners, Maria Fulfaro, Event Producer from Simply Marketing, and our kind sponsors, Taste of Style Catering, and Brazil Mart.
