The Top 5 events in August

SHAKE IT!
At the hottest and purest Funk Carioca in London. The infamous singer Tati Quebra Barraco with Bonde do TigrĂ£o at Carna Funk (23rd Aug).

SURRENDER to the most controversial film of the year. Tropa de Elite FINALLY ARRIVES ON UK SCREENS for the enjoyment and schooling of the public. Pure entertainment with barbed polemics.

HOP ON A TRAIN TO EDINBURGH for this year's Festival (8th-31st Aug) with Latin American talent on show from the likes of Brasilian dancer Jean de Abreu.

CHANT OUT LOUD because a new British channel will broadcast live coverage of the Brasilian Serie A, (and don't miss Big Phil’s first match in the Premier League on 17th Aug).

Sprawl out and roll around on the grassy hills of Kentwell Hall during the Festinho Festival (29th–31st Aug). Expect eclectic music of the highest order over the three days, all the while supporting a charitable cause.
