Jungle Sessions at Guanabara is an exciting new partnership between Guanabara and JungleDrums magazine, supported by TAP airlines. We open our ‘Sessions’ by bringing you one of the most important names in the new generation of sambistas, Casuarina. Amongst Rio’s hottest musical projects, Casuarina has attracted the carioca youth (from Rio de Janeiro) back into love with samba. For the 1st time in London, they will present material from their new and acclaimed album ‘MTV apresenta Casuarina’, translating the concept of the famous ‘roda de samba’ (samba circle). The setlist includes songs written by the band and classic sambas and gems by João Nogueira, Candeia, Nei Lopes, Paulinho da Viola, Zé Keti, Dorival Caymmi and Vinícius de Moraes. With Casuarina, tradition does not contradict the present and the past breathes the contemporary! Limao hosts the evening, djing before and after the show.

The term “gafieira” comes from the beginning of the 20th century to describe the dance halls of the working class neighborhoods of Rio de Janeiro. The music played in those ballrooms absorbed a wide range of musical influences, including Afro-Brazilian samba rhythms, French dance forms, Argentine tango, and North American big-band music. As a truly unique form of dance music evolved, with its dazzling arrangements and instrumentation, the word came to describe the music itself, as well as the various styles of dancing. Playing live is the wonderful Chico Chagas & Gafieira Brasil, a 7-piece band including percussion, drums, accordion, sax, guitar, flute and clarinet that will make you dance the night away, After that, DJ Limao strikes the dance floor with soulful Brazilian beats, from samba soul to latin house, always with the outstanding researcher spirit that is usual in his gigs. and the crowd always ends up dancing later in the evening.
