“For the producers and creatives behind Brazilian Nites, every day is a kind of carnaval, but once a year, the whole world gets in on it, and from Mardi Gras to carnivale Italian-style, February is full-on beads and boas season. But everyone knows it's better when you go Brazilian, especially since this event gets all 21st-century with it. In addition to the show-stopping dance and musical performers, there are live DJs, giveaways, a parade, and a samba class, so when you are inevitably inspired to shake your money-maker, you'll have a better chance of looking like you know what you're doing.”
Shana Nys Dambrot, Flavorpill
Angelenos are invited to experience the full-sensory, annual celebration before Lent that is the most anticipated holiday in Brazil to let loose and dance the night away. Brazilian Nites' magic formula of true Latin party spirit, sensuality and flavors features an All Star band of highly acclaimed international musicians curated by Chalo Eduardo (who performed with Sergio Mendes, Santana, Mickey Hart, & Ricky Martin) playing classic Carnaval hits. DJ Chris Brazil spins additional Brazilian dance music and the band SambaDa brings its high-energy percussion, danceable grooves and visually dynamic show to the Carnaval stage. All ticket buyers can join in the 100 drummer participatory drum circle by Remo and a free drawing for a trip for two to Brazil. An all night pageant of elite SAMBA DANCERS and CAPOEIRA, the traditional Afro Brazilian martial art dance, add to the spectacle that is Carnaval. Costumes are encouraged!
