Friday, June 20: Celebrate São João at JUICE
For many (particularly in Brazil’s northeast), the São João festival rivals Carnaval as the most lively celebration of Brazilian culture and music. Spend an evening in the Brazilian countryside with us on June 20 as we raise money for Bahia Street programs at JUICE’s monthly “Global Giving Through Global Rhythm” dance party. Join veteran DJ’s DMZ (Darek Mazzone of KEXP) and DJ Rhythma (Eric Schmidt) on a musical journey around the world as they spin the latest beats from Paris, Sao Paulo, London, Lagos, New York, New Delhi, Istanbul and more at Seattle’s only monthly modern global music club night. On June 20, all proceeds from the door will be donated to Bahia Street and the World Affairs Council’s YPIN (young professionals) program. Free CD giveaways from Six Degrees Records!
