Alcides Neto (seven-piece band) is heading to The Jazzlab to launch his debut album Amú on August 27, with support from Italo-Colombian duo Transatlantico.

Alcides is a Brazilian composer and multi-instrumentalist based in Naarm/Melbourne. Drawing inspiration from the folk traditions of his homeland, he offers a fresh perspective on Brazilian music by blending traditional rhythms with contemporary Brazilian influences.

Released in February via Music in Exile, Amú features eight original compositions and is a nostalgic yet celebratory journey through the landscapes of Alcides’ homeland. The album reflects on the cultural traditions and family connections left behind while looking hopefully towards new horizons. Amú was warmly received both locally and internationally, earning PBS FM’s Album of the Week, being named one of Bandcamp’s Best Latin Album releases of March 2026, receiving praise from the record label Mr Bongo (UK) as “one of the best releases of 2026 so far”, and attracting airplay on Jazz FM and Worldwide FM.

As he puts the finishing touches on his second album, this special performance marks the final Melbourne celebration of Amú before taking the project on the road with shows at The Vanguard in Sydney and the Princess Theatre in Brisbane.
