This is the story of Brazil’s most forgotten movement – Black Rio. Black Rio mirrored the struggles in North America, maintaining a particularly close link to the soul brothers in Harlem. Artists like Sergio Mendes, Joao Donato and Marcos Valle drew from the US soul and funk of Motown, Stax and James Brown to create their own blend of ‘Soul Brasileiro’.
The 11 piece I Like it Like That Orchestra fresh from 2 stunning Brazilian Funk affair sets last year are returning to the Basement to unleash a live mix of Brazilian beats, Bossa Jazz & Funk from the carnival capitol. Pure percussion pressure comes courtesy of Samba Soul Kingdom – a hard hitting new live Samba/Batucada drum section to get you just in the right mood.
Djs include Russ Dewbury ( Jazz Rooms) alongside special guest Michael Correa dropping everything from Samba to Soul, Bossa to Batucada , Brasilian beats to Drum ‘n’ bass. Its going to be monster party, so people, get on your Rio shoes and enjoy the grooves.
