I found a reference to the name 'Brazilian Red' as a synonym (in French Polynesia) to what we call 'Brazilian'. That doesn't mean they are the same plant, too often the names of plants are mixed up and confused, so if you can get photos that would really help to say what it is since 'Brazilian Red' is a rather uncommon name, especially since it somewhat implies that it may be similar to, but different from 'Brazilian'.

Flowering is a result of maturity or stress. Bananas do not react to environmental cues (such as temperature or day length) to initiate flowering like some other plants, so the thought that it is an unusual time to be flowering for a banana is somewhat irrelevant. Generally, the things a banana could do that would deviate from a "normal" flowering cycle is either to flower early or late relative to maturity, independent of the time of year providing it is actively growing.
