A Brazilian Music Collective



Welcome to
Canja de Boa
Experience the Heart of Brazilian Music.
Canja de Boa is a dynamic, ever-evolving collective founded by guitarist Kyle Canjar. Rooted in MPB (Música Popular Brasileira), we blend samba, bossa nova, afoxé, maracatu, and more, bringing the vibrant sounds of Brazil to life. With core members Kyle Canjar (guitar), Pia Broden-Williams (voice), Michelle Ureña (woodwinds), and Gordon Kruspsky (pandeiro, tan-tan, percussion), we invite musicians and audiences alike to join us on a journey through the diverse, ever-changing landscape of Brazilian music.
Collaborative. Inclusive. Passionate.
We believe in the power of collaboration and the shared experience of music. While our core lineup forms the foundation, we’re always open to working with other musicians who share our love for Brazilian music. Whether performing on stage or in the studio, Canja de Boa is about exploration, cultural exchange, and celebrating the rhythms, melodies, and stories of Brazil.
Join Us in the Journey.
Brazilian music is for everyone. We’re here to celebrate its rich culture, honor its Afro-Brazilian roots, and explore the endless possibilities that this music offers. Dive in, explore our sound, and be part of the evolving story of Canja de Boa.
