![]() ![]() ![]() The Los Angeles Samba Dancers are specialized Brazilian Style Carnival Dance Company. Rogê’s band will present a repertoire that will begin with the celebrated “Marchinhas de Carnaval” and Frevos (from the northeast of Brazil) which is one of several genres of music typical of Brazilian Carnaval in Rio de Janeiro going on to hits of Carnaval hits of Axé music and “Samba Enredos” (is a subgenre of Samba in which songs are performed by a sambaschool for the festivities of Carnaval) and more! Rogê’s new album, Nomade, was recently out and is a mix of his Brazilian rhythms with music from other parts of the world, and was produced by Los Angeles based producer, Mario Caldato Jr. A frequent partner, Seu Jorge (well known for his 'Life Aquatic' project) recorded seven songs composed by Rogê in his most recently solo album, Músicas Para Churrasco (2012). Headliner Rogê composed the themes for the 2016 Olympics Games in Rio and the 2014 World Cup's Mascot. This light and refreshing cocktail blends perfectly with the heat and non-stop energy of Carnaval. Caipirinhas are made with Brazil’s most common distilled alcoholic beverage Cachaça, mixed with sugar and lime and poured over ice. Brazilian appetizers and the national cocktail of Brazil – the Caipirinha – will also be available for purchase. This hybrid dance party and Brazilian music concert offers Angelenos the chance to indulge the senses and lose themselves in a relentless sea of samba, surrendering to irresistible beats behind the anonymity of sequins, masks and feathers. L.A.’s official, and longest running party tradition happens in Redondo Beach. Featuring the Latin Grammy Nominee Rogê and his All Star Brazilian Carnaval band, LA Samba Dancers, Leopold Nunan, and DJ Potira. ![]() takes place on the exact same day as the first day of Carnaval celebrations in Brazil & around the world. A faithful replica of the real Carnavals in Rio and Bahia, Carnaval is the most authentic and extravagant party on the West Coast and has consistently sold out for the past 18 years. institution of true Latin party spirit, sensuality and rhythms returns to seduce Angelenos when the 19th annual Brazilian Carnaval of beckons revelers on Saturday, Maat Samba Steakhouse & Lounge. “Put on your samba shoes and head to Carnaval Exotica” “If you can't get to Rio or New Orleans, Brazilian Carnaval is a local alternative offering a rollicking, exotic Mardi Gras show.” A real shot at 4 dots - if not for the dancers and the size of the bill.LOS ANGELES BRAZILIAN CARNAVAL celebrates 19 YEARS! Saturday, March 2 - 9pmLOS ANGELES BRAZILIAN CARNAVAL celebrates 19 YEARS! Saturday, March 2 - 9pm I think it would be better (like some belly-dancer middle-eastern places do) to make it clear when the dancers will be there so patrons can choose to either target or avoid the experience. In came the blaring music and in came live Samba dancers in Samba outfits who danced right in front of the Salad bar. That was fine with me, especially if the commotion stayed outside. Then at some point Samba music began blaring outside, and I could tell there was some commotion out there, somehow. They could get away with Souplantation prices, maybe. ![]() So for some salad, beef, and fish, our total per person with a soft drink and tip approached $40. We ordered beef and fish for about $15 each, but one order would have been enough for 3. That's not a bad thing, but it's not a typical touristy City-Walk restaurant experience. Inside of samba, the smell is like the smell of cooking raw beef and fish with a tinge of vinegar from the salads. Outside of Samba the vented smoke smells very good. Right in the middle of the eating area there is an open slow roaster where they keep spits of beef, sausages, chicken, and marinated fish. There are even nice bread rolls with cheese inside each one and some meat choices (they called one "stroganoff" although it was like peppers and boiled beef - not creamy noodly stroganoff.) For someone hoping for an Old Town Buffet experience, you'd better just go somewhere else, Now to the meat. Maybe there are a dozen items to choose from. Kale, marinated corn, green beams with peppers, tabbouleh salad. For the adventuresome who like fresh vegetables and strong flavors, it's a very good salad bar at theme-park prices. Meat from the grill is extra - which I'll get to. It's about $20 for an all-you-can-eat salad bar. Given how much I like veggies, and given how good and flavorful the salads, this place had a real shot at 4-dots or maybe even 5. Two things I never thought I'd see together. ![]()
