Different Rhythm welcome not one but two guest DJs for a very special Easter Sunday throwdown in the Shaw. We have Roots Factory and Groovalizacion selector Brigadier JC joining us from his adopted home town of Barcelona, while TAMARA Maravliha drops in from Brazilia to bring some South American heat to the occasion.
BRIGADIER JC is a French DJ based in Barcelona with a record collection coming from all corners of the world, with a focus on soul/funk sounds from Africa, South America and the Caribbean. He runs (and produces for) a reggae record label called Roots Factory based in the UK that got featured on the BBC as the Best of British Reggae. He’s also a member of the Groovalizacion project, a worldwide collective of DJs promoting tropical music.
TAMARA MARAVILHA,
Born in Brasília, but with roots of the family tree planted in Bahia, arrived in Europe with different musical experiences. After many years playing in the country of origin, Tamara wants to give her countrymen and foreigners the delight of African, Latin and Brazilian music. In the course of time, she was connected to collectives and producers of celebrated events of the city; such as Criolina, Influenza Productions, Moranga, Jamburanas, Padê, Barki, Pequi, Cena Contemporânea, CCBB Brasilia, among others. At the end of 2016, Tamara played on the Christmas Special organized by three major producers: Criolina, Makossa and Melanina.Tamara Maravilha also follows the growth of the capital’s carnival scene as part of the alternative blocks, such as Tuthankasmona — which in 2107 brought together approximately 14,000 people in Brasília downtown. Her own production is “Baile Maravilha”, a party that cultivates Brazilian music in its most diverse range, from the music of African and Northeastern roots, as well as all the wealth that contemporaneity can embrace.The last event in Brazil was the traditional Terreirada party — of which she was a resident — , a monthly event that strengthens the samba and black culture that counts with the band Filhos de Dona
Maria.
