Brazilian Festa at the Outdoor Cinema Starlight, Sunday 28 February



Brazilian Festa is happening for the second time in Sydney and it promises to introduce new activities for everyone, which includes: photo exhibition, percussion workshop, football clinics and play area, concerts and the possibility to see a fantastic Brazilian Film in an outdoor cinema.
There are two bands presenting on the festival. The first one is Toca Jorge, which will play one hour of the best of Jorge Ben Jor, and the other band is Jeanne Bastos, who will sing the best of the Brazilian Music including some Carnaval hits.
This year, the organisers included some chats about different Brazilian issues such as football and World Cups, indigenous communities and Capoeira. The presenters will be Jayme Akstein, Pablo Nacer that has lived with ‘indios’ Xavantes in Brazil and will share his experience, and Mestre Peixe who will lead the Capoeira chat. It is also expected some activities for kids which include games, cooking classes and face painting.
The event starts at 4pm and will finish with the screening of DIVÃ, a delightful contemporary comedy with Lillian Cabral. It is possible to check the movie trailer
