This year, Brazilian Day focuses on the most diverse and afro-centric area of Brazil; BAHIA! The sounds of Bahia are heavily driven from Africa drums, religion and spirit, and can be mixed to the sounds of reggae rhythms, batucada beats, and Brazil's traditional style of Samba music. With our focus on Bahia, we have invited special guest and heavy Afro-Samba Reggae band, "BATUKAXE" to headline this year's festivities. Made in Bahia, as they are known for caring the magnetic bliss of the Bahian roots, and reggae sounds, the band makes its first appearance in Arizona. Co-Headlining the event is LA's #1 Brazilian DJ, Chris Brazil. The event will also host a number of special guests from across Brazil including Samba Dancers, Drummers and live bands that will no doubt bring together the pure heartbeat of Brazilian culture.

The event will also feature live Brazilian Capoeira, a traditional afro-brailian performance and a huge part of the Brazilian culture, while ending the event will be the 3rd annual Brazilian Samba Queen Contest, selecting a new queen for 1 year!
