Latin Grammy Nominee band to play in Liverpool this Saturday as part of The Voodoo Ball
New arts and culture organisation BrazUKa International brings to Liverpool for the first time, Latin Grammy nominees (12 piece group) to perform at The Voodoo Ball, Kazimier, on the 26th of October alongside 15 others acts, and a New Orleans style “funeral” boisterous parade through the city centre with local 60 piece percussion band, Batala Liverpool.
The Voodoo Ball is in its second year (last year being organised as part of the Brazilica Fringe Carnival), and has built a huge following due to its innovative approach combining music and performance arts in one space, providing the audience with a new “universe” in which to play, enjoy diverse independent music. The audience becomes no longer expectators, but true participants in producing a magical, one of a kind party night in Liverpool.
The “ritual of intoxicating revelry” starts at 8:30pm with a parade down Bold St, formed by over 60 musicians, attracting the crowd to join in the street celebration ending at the Kazimier around 9:30 with a static performance by Wostenholme Sq, following inside the venue for an unforgettable night.
BrazUKa International is a not-for-profit organisation with charitable aims that develops intercultural learning and artistic exchanges within communities in the UK, Brazil and beyond in order to promote equality and diversity in the UK and international understanding more widely through: workshops, performances, language courses, business consulting, trips to Brazil and more, facilitating the exchange between British, Brazilian and other cultures.
