This is the set I’ve recorded to Guanabara, October/09, to celebrate our 5th Birthday (“our” as I’ve been there since the first year).

A CD with the set recorded have been given as a gift to all 800 guests on our 5 years party, when I’ve had the pleasure to share my set time with no less than Mr. Gilles Peterson.

The objective of this set is to bring together the different styles of Brazilian music you can hear at Guanabara in any of the 7 nights a week we’re opened, either from one of our DJs, or from our hand-picked bands.

This set is also the first gem of an eventual Guanabara CD, to be produced in the future, so your feedback is absolutely welcomed.

Enjoy it!

Set Guanabara 5 years by djlimao

5 Happy years have flown by, 1800 days of Non-Stop music and dance, and 2,5 million caipirinhas muddled. Our aim was to bring the best of Brazil to London. Our line-ups have featured the best Brazilian artists both flown in or residents here. Highlights have been Ivete Sangalo, Daniela Mercury, Tribo de Jah, O Rappa, Mutantes, Monobloco, Mart’Nalia, and O Rappa. We are proud that our supported us so loyally over the past 5 years, Guanabara’s continuous growth has been due to the Brazilian community and our English costumers believing that doom and gloom shall not prevail, but dance, song and caipirinhas shall triumph!

For our fifth birthday we want to give you a present. For the first time in our 5 years of history we have compiled our own CD, mixed by our grand resident, DJ Limão.

We have had some great times over the last 5 years, and hope to continue porviding you with somewhere to dance and party for the next 5 years.
