When the rain pours down, go Brazilian

PREVIEW: TROCABRAHMA
by Simon Wroe

BRAZILIAN music is currently as hot as its weather, with the likes of CSS and Bondo Do Role storming dancefloors and iPods across the UK.
English music is, thankfully, much hotter than its weather so when Anglo-Latin sound jam Trocabrahma hits the Kentish Town Forum next week, the results are guaranteed to be explosive.
Legendary 1960s psychedelic art rockers Os Mutantes (pictured) will kickstart their reunion tour alongside the excellent JD Twitch of Glaswegian DJ duo Optimo (who everyone should hear at least once in their lives).
Electro mash-up artists Bondo Do Role meet south London techno heads Radioclit and Spank Rock collaborator Amanda Blank, while Mississippi-born über-producer Diplo will straddle the divide, playing hip-hop, baille funk and all kinds of bass-shaking, booty-bouncing delights. And that’s just Friday night.
The four-day music season, masterminded by Brazilian beer giant Brahma, also boasts Gilles Peterson and Tita Lima in Drury Lane on Thursday and Four Tet in Shoreditch on Saturday, before King Creosote and Romulo Froes round off proceedings at Camden’s Koko on Sunday.
So don your flip-flops and pork-pie hats, and get down there as fast as your best capoeira cockney walk allows.
