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 …

A kaleidoscope of the purest tradition and the best of cutting edge Brazilian music reflecting the chaotic but harmonious aspects of the Favela… and chic!

Easter treats in store, and a battle of egos galore!  Gringo’s the father of the sound, Lavish swaps names as often as underpants (regularly, thankfully) and Boo’n Tchiky hail from the French capital of all things Eiffel and cocoa.

Gringo brings on the samba, bossa nova, electronica, funk, breakbeats, batucada, hip hop, pop, southern rock, swing and rolls the rest on …

Victor Lavishes : blue breaks, jazz swing and mambo madness amongst other garment-swapping delights

Mr. Boo streams in his own stamp of soul, disco, new wave, rockcism it’s underground electrotastic to mainstream pop all the way.

Tchiky’s style? Unlikely as you like. It’ll be baile funk, hip hop, drum ‘n’ bass, samba, house, rock and all for the love of Brazil!

6pm – 3am

Dirt, importance, people … and don’t let no one tell you no different!Residents Gringo da Parada and his not-quite-side-kick artist in his own right Seagulls aka Victor Lavish decadences all over the place! France and England hold hands and turn some tables, not to mention heads.So, what do they have in mind? It’s trash tunes from all over the place and across various timelines, there’ll always be a bit o’ Brazil, pop, punk, hop, funk, electro, broken beats and whatever’s in between. And keep your eyes peeled for fancy hats and pointy shoes … both parties are guilty of frivolous garb …Splash on D.I.P. cocktail to complete the inititation: Cachaça, guaranà and a smidgen of Armaniac 77 6pm – 1am Free entry

Master of the Favela flavour (that is all things Brazilian: samba, hip hop, house, drum ‘n’ bass) and face at head of the carnival from Paris to London, Gringo sure did start one helluva party!
