THE NBA will get a special touch boldness and joy in January 2025. Thiaguinho, one of the biggest names in Brazilian music, confirmed himself as the protagonist of the third edition of Brazilian night.
The event, which celebrates Brazilian culture, will be held during the Orlando Magic vs. Portland Trail Blazers game at the Kia Center in Orlando on January 23. The presentation promises to shake the local Brazilian community and fans of the American Basketball League with much pagoda and excitement.
The choice of Thiaguinho as the main attraction reflects the growth and appreciation of Brazilian culture in the United States. After Claudia Leitte’s performances in previous editions, the singer was invited to continue the celebration of Brazil in the NBA.
“I am passionate about sports and grew up with sports very much alive in my home. Even though Brazil is the country of football, I really like watching basketball and other sports. It will be a wonderful experience. Not to mention, Orlando’s Brazilian community is huge. I’m sure the reception will be amazing and I will make sure everyone enjoys a pagoda“, declared the singer enthusiastically.
Thiaguinho promises to deliver an unforgettable performance, both at half-time and post-match. Known for his infectious energy and hits that have shaped generations, the singer hopes to transform the arena into a true Brazilian party. Their presence at the event strengthens the ties between the Orlando Magic and the Brazilian community, which already has official team profiles in Portuguese and several actions aimed at the Brazilian public.

Thiaguinho in “Brazil Night”
The event, titled “Brazil Night,” is not only an opportunity to watch a basketball game, but also to celebrate Brazil’s rich culture. The proposal is to honor both the Brazilian residents in Orlando and the thousands of tourists who visit the city every year.
Orlando, known as a favorite destination for Brazilians, is the perfect place for this fusion of sports and culture.
In previous editions, Claudia Leitte brought axé and lots of Bahian rhythm to the event. This year, Thiaguinho Pagoda will be the main attraction. With hits like “Caraca, Muleke!” and “Ousadia e Alegria”, the singer has everything to conquer not only the Brazilians present, but also the Americans who frequent the arena.
In addition to the musical show, “Brazil Night” includes other attractions aimed at fans. There will be thematic activations and interactive experiences that highlight Brazilianness, as well as celebrations before and during the match.
The Orlando Magic are going through a good phase in the NBA Eastern Conference. Currently in fourth place, the team has 17 wins and 11 losses this season, with an impressive performance at home: 10 wins in 11 games at the Kia Center. This context makes “Brazil Night” even more special, combining the team’s good phase with a unique cultural celebration.
Thiaguinho will bring a Brazilian touch to one of the world’s most important sporting leagues, proving once again that Brazilian music and culture have a prominent place on the international stage. The “Brazil Night” will, without a doubt, be a memorable evening for basketball and music fans.
