Bringing Brazil to Silo Park.
Overview
Brazil is coming to Auckland city this Saturday, February 22, in the form of the annual Rice and Beans Festival.
The free festival offers a smorgasbord selection of music, culture, art and food from South America.
Lead by Auckland’s favourite Brazilian Bobby Brazuka, the Mucho Aroha Music Showcase will feature a mint range of local and international DJs: Tamenpi (Rio de Janeiro), PG (Sao Paulo), Luiz Valente (Belo Horizonte), Latinaotearoa, Dubhead, Cian, Brazilian Divas, and AK Samba.
Besides music and food, Au Capoeira NZ, a branch of the Au Capoeira school in Brasil, will be performing in the grass at 2pm.
