Description
"Braza" first Fridays at SOM.BRAZA: Bringing Rio De Janiero and Sao Paulo to San Francisco.
For 8 months straight Braza has been offering first class tickets to Brazil. Well , not literally, but it's as close as you can get without a passport and a costly plane ticket. "Braza" was formed by host Antonio Guedes and deejays Vanka, Kento, and Elan as a means to showcase the best in Brazilian music and gather the local Brazilian community in one festive location.
Whether it's Kento playing his recent finds from a Brazilian family visit or or Vanka and Elan playing the contemporary rhythms of Baile Funk and Brazilian house you're guaranteed to see groups of Brazilian transplants moving and socializing.
July's guest is Carlos Niņo of the famed Mochilla & Timeless team while previous guests have included Leftoo of The Giles Peterson Worldwide family & Marcelinho De Cua, a globally known dj and producer for breakout group Bossacucanova.
But what gives Braza its lively reputation and charm is the addition of live Brazilian percussion players, iconic Brazilian images being projected onto SOM's wall, and even food carts serving up native delights. The party achieves the difficult task of not only brining the sights, sounds, and tastes of Brazil but most importantly a spirit that usually can only be found 6,476 miles away.
