This celebratory demonstration of carnival festivities including dance, costuming, music, drink and food occurs on the same day as Brazil's own Carnaval in Rio de Janeiro and Bahia. At the heart of the 2014 celebration is JP Poupard Band with special guest Shirley da Silva, with top musicians performing Brazilian beats.
Also featured are the Sambabom Brazilian Dance Company in batucada rhythms and feather and sequined costumes, an eclectic mix of Brazilian rhythms courtesy of DJ Cassio Duarte, and a batala band playing traditional Bahian rhythms of samba reggae.
