The fittingly named Independent celebrates the 186th anniversary of Brazil's declaration of independence with a raucous lineup of musicians and dancers repping their Brazilian, African, and American roots with pomp and abandon. DJ Fausto Sousa combines soca and samba beats with dance-floor hits, while Bat Makumba's eclectic repertoire mixes folk, indie, punk, and ska with traditional Brazilian forms like forró and tropicália. But save your booty-shaking energy for SambaDá, who transport Carnaval — sparkling feather headdresses, spangled bikinis, and all — straight from Rio to the Indy's floor.
