The real life of the Favela Chic Team

DJs Shepdog & Kombine bring their Digga Please? Oct 8

After rocking boats on the Adriatic to steaming up sheds at the Big Chill this year,  DJs Shepdog & Kombine bring their Digga Please  antics to Favela Chic.

Playing only 45s (or 7″s as they’re more commonly known), the focus is on bringing a party rather than any elitist music policy. That said, the two are ardent record collectors so expect only the finest in everything from hip hop, funk, soul, boogie and disco to acid house, swingbeat, rave and electro. They’ve previously been described as “Reeves and Mortimer meets Afrika Bambaataa” due to their electic and often random approach to DJing, although they strive to find the funk in everything they play. Just one question remains…will they keep their tops on? Head down on the 8th October to find out!

The Gringo Da Parada show

6PM - 2AM

Free B4 9PM, £5/10£ after 11PM

A fest of Favela’s finest … baile beats courtesy of music-man extraordinaire, Il Gringo de tout ou rien! Et oui, bien sur, this one’s in full festival flow, so expect even more than the usual dose of Favela flavour old soul, rock’n’roll, electro, disco and general party shenanigans (wine / women y compris).

It’s more of what we know and love: la camaraderie via pop, samba, bossa nova, electronica, funk, breakbeats, southern rock, swing, batucada and groove inesperado …

FAVELA CHIC IS FOUR! FAVELA AS QUATRE ANS!

 opcao-3.jpg

YES - We can say that it has been 4 years of Brilliant Parties and Hangover endless…
Favela Chic is a restaurant, a bar, a club, a bordello and none of the above, It’s a gallery space, a wardrobe and an asylum, a celebration of Brazil and France and London, a rock ‘n’ roll circus that dances to a samba beat. It’s an anachronism and a play den for the stupid, the funny and the beautiful.
And to celebrate our 4th birthday we are having a party with cake, candles and colour. Our chef Vagner invites you for a tasting of our new menu and a Banquet while our staff will be serving early complimentary cocktails (cachaca thanks to our great friends at Sagatiba).
Dinner Server at 7pm.
And also,

To Celebrate our 4th anniversary we have the best of England French and Brazil, all in the same night:
Joana and the Wolf Live
Follow by Dj Gringo da Parada (Best of France) & Dj Ross Clarke (Best of England)
Maracatu Mafua – Typical Batucada from Northeast of Brazil
Followed by Deany Seagulls (Swap-a-rama)
Or would be first Deany, than Ross than Gringo….
No, No, No! First Gringo, than Deany and Ross …. Or
EITHER OR,  Doesn’t matter who comes first:
THEY ARE ALL BRILLIANT or should we say BRAZILLIANT!!!
NB - Thursday 26th November will be a party of colour, new cuisine, caipirinhas and carioca!
Please don’t wear black or white! Dress for Brazilian summer! Be prepared for stupid things!
If you would like to attend Favela Chic’s birthday celebrations or require further
information please contact Dani Mazzer d.danette@gmail.com or call 0207 613 4228 and
