FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - LAUNCHING OF BRAZILIAN HOUR WEB RADIO

The Brazilian Hour, a well-renowned international radio program, was
launched in 1978 and has been continuously produced at the cultural
sector of the Brazilian Consulate of Los Angeles.
We are pleased to inform that the program will initiate a new phase
with the launching of a user-friendly and informative website that
will include programming in 4 languages, Portuguese, Spanish, English
and French. The site will also provide a novelty aspect that includes
the Brazilian Hour Internet TV, presenting original music and
interviews. One of the newest features available will be the
Brazilian Hour web radio offering 24 hour music selections and special
features on composers, music styles and new Brazilian music releases.

Celebration -

Brasil Cultura Funk will feature MUAMBA (all-star samba-funk
experience), DJ Sergio Mielniczenko (KPFK/Brazilian Hour), plus guest
bands, visual artists and DJs every 3rd Wednesday of the month.

MAY 19, 2010 - 9:30 PM
ZANZIBAR
1301 5th Street, Santa Monica, CA 90401

Brasil Cultura Funk, Zanzibar’s newest residency, is based on the idea
that it’s the local Brazilian communities’ responsibility to expose
and celebrate its thriving art scene beyond its beloved bossa nova and
Carnaval. With the current popularity of artists like Céu and Seu
Jorge, who serve up unique and hip versions of samba and soul, host
Carla Rigolin Hassett is betting on Los Angelinos wanting to know what
else “we have to offer.” Resident band MUAMBA (samba-funk) and
resident DJ Sergio Mielniczenko (KPFK/Brazilian Hour) present guest
bands and visual artists on the 3rd Wednesday of each month.

Samba Society and Trópico de Nopal Gallery invite you to an afternoon
of vintage samba in a relaxed backyard setting.

Sunday / May 23
4pm / $5
1665 Beverly Blvd, LA 90026
Info: 213- 458-6053

After playing to a packed house at UCLA's Schoenberg Hall in March we
are bringing the group to Trópico de Nopal for a traditional "roda de
samba" (informal backyard-style samba jam). The gallery's space is
beautiful, spacious, open air, and DANCING is not only allowed, it is
encouraged!!!

The return of Samba Society earlier this year was quite an event. The
vibrant Kátia Moraes and the exceptional guitarist Mitchell Long
joined us onstage as special guests and have become Samba Society
Fellows! We will be bringing to you our 12+piece band, with full vocal
harmonies, swinging percussion rhythm section, plus the traditional
sounds of the 7-string guitar and the cavaco. We will also feature
some very special guests!

DJ Reyes (and Trópico owner) will be spinning old-school samba on
vinyl!

Samba Society is a collective of musicians from the Brazilian
community of Southern California. Under the artistic direction of Beto
González, Samba Society is primarily dedicated to partido alto and
samba de terreiro. Samba Society will play a repertoire of vintage
sambas, B-sides, and arrangements of classics primarily from the 1960s
and 70s. We will feature songs by composers of the "Old Guard" of
samba that have been largely ignored by mainstream media and are
little known outside of Rio, even to Brazilians.

Percussion is the pulse of this year’s festival. Olodum, from
Salvador, Bahia, Brazil, is the group that created samba reggae,
combining Brazilian samba with Jamaican reggae, merengue and salsa.
They drew inspiration, both musically and ideologically, from Bob
Marley. In 2010 the 23-member percussion and dance ensemble marks the
30th year of bringing their brand of Afro-Brazilian culture to the
world.
