Mayday! Brazilian dance music of the People this Saturday, May 14

[z'Bumba]

'If I can't dance, I don't want to be part of your revolution'  - Emma Goldman*

Mayday!   Hang on to your hips - those Accordion Agitators z'Bumba will bring their grassroots groundswell of grind to Mississippi Pizza this Saturday, May 14. 

9:00 pm - 12:15 am

Mississippi Pizza Pub

3552 N Mississippi, Portland

21 and over, please. $7

Portlanders' hips, those bony bastions of declining decency, face an imminent musical class war with fearsome foe Forró (fo-HOh)  - the People's dance music of Northeastern Brazil. 

Like a Zapatista's zydeco, this Comrade of Cumbia is an accordion-driven revolution.  Relegated to the Underground for years, Forró has recently emerged bearing the troublesome trifecta of trysting triangle, bittersweet harmony, and that sibilantly saboteuring São Paulo songstress Gabriella. 

Upright citizens are urged to stay at home this Saturday with warm milk and Lawrence Welk reruns. 

(the rest of you are invited join us in the revolutionary spirit of Emma.. and Lampião) 

Z'olidarity, 

z'Bumba
