Batucada Sound Machine in Brisbane tomorrow night!!!

oi Sambistas!
A quick note for a day of Brazilian goodness tomorrow.
Bom Gosto (all instrumental brazilian samba jazz & bossanova) play a free set at the top of Queen st Mall 4pm-7pm.

Then 2 hrs later New Zealand's Batucada Sound Machine hit QPAC for a free late night concert!:

These guys really put on a top show! They mix brazilian batucada rhythms with afrobeat, funk and their own homegrown pacific soul sounds...(The pacific's answer to Ozomatli!)....they're all top musicians in their own right.....2 of the guys run AK Samba School in Auckland, and they usually have a couple of the female surdo players performing with them on stage!

End break

Guys, following a last rush tonight this is the current situation for this gig:

Yes:

• Angus
• Gail
• Patty
• Denis

Maybe:

• Elwin
• Florent

No:
