FAVELA FEVA @ Guanabara - 05.09.06








From the Caferecordings mailing list:

"On September 5th, UK and Brazilian artists and DJs come together for FAVELA FEVA, a one-off event to raise money for a radio station to be built on behalf of AfroReggae in one of Rio 's toughest favelas.

"Guanabara plays host to DJs Gilles Peterson (BBC Radio 1), DJ Marky (Innerground, Brazil), Bryan G (Movement/V), Benji B (1Xtra BBC), Bongo DJs (Mr Bongo), DJ Limão (Jungle Drums Sambatralia) plus guests.  They will be joined by MCs Dynamite and Skibadee . Dancing will be courtesy of Quilombo de Samba (Basement Jaxx) and Capoeira Canal.  There will be an exclusive live set performed by Bembe Segue (Goya Music). The UK' s own Ty (Big Dada) and Estelle (V2) will be the hosts for the night.

All proceeds will go towards providing the favela's youth with training and equipment to build and run a new community radio station.

"Doors open at 8pm. Tickets on the door. £6 before 10pm / £8 after. Dress however you want.
