Braziliance:

Urban centers like Sao Paulo, Brasília and Rio have a long history of creating sounds, both cosmopolitan and cutting edge. And for anyone familiar with Brazilian music, hybrid is as crucial an adjective as infectious. After all, Brazilians have been the quintessential postmodern musicians unearthing and exploring eccentric sounds both local and global. New Brazilian Beats explores this hybrid and infectious groove that has found its’ way to dance floors all over the world. Noted DJ/Maestro Joe Bryl leads the way, spinning from his vast collection, the pulsating new sounds you can’t ignore.

To help capture the feel of Brazil, on this night Sonotheque also offers you “The Braziliance Drinking Guide”, a special menu of liquid creations that capture the art of cocktailing in Rio. New interpertations of Mojitos and Caipirinhas are among the choices. Start off the evening with dinner at Flo (1434 W. Chicago) featuring a special Brazilian menu. Diners at Flo on November 5 will be guests of Sonotheque for the event.

It is impossible to deny the influence that Brazil has on today’s global culture. From music and film to fashion and dance, Brazil has become one of the world’s most important resources of popular art and entertainment. BRAZILIANCE will bring you the finest in Brazilian sounds and culture. Sonotheque offers Brazilian beer and cocktails for your pleasure.
