Iabas

Traditional Brazilian Band “Bom Dia” means Good Day in Portuguese, the language of Brazil. And it will be Bom Dia when you come to experience Iabas performing with 4th graders from the Poughkeepsie School District. In a weeklong in-school residency, Iabas will introduce the students to the music and language of the Brazilian people. Students will be making instruments and learning songs, and will join Iabas on stage for a celebration of distinct cultural origins and diverse rhythmic, melodic and lyrical influences. Join in the celebration! The Bardavon Opera House, Inc. is a non-profit, member based organization.
