“>The ultimate goal at ALMA is to share the heart and intense party
nature
of Brazilians with their audience, and so far, no event has been more
evident of that intention than their traditional All-White New Year¹s
Eve
party. With exceptionally talented drummers and musicians always
by
their
side, one of ALMA’s biggest draws is their audience
themselves and the amount energy they bring to these special
occasions. And
with the positive all white touch added to the festivities, you won’t
feel
as guilty about your utterly debaucherous ways the next day.
The tradition started in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil where the natives
celebrate
by dressing in white and going to the beach to watch the fireworks on
New
Year¹s Eve. After midnight, they jump seven waves and throw
flowers in
the
sea while making a wish. Some people also light candles in the sand
on
the
beach. This is believed to bring good luck and fortune. They say that
the
goddess who protects the sea (YEMANJÃ:Ye + omo + eja) will make
their
wishes
come true.
We invite you to take part in our tradition, dress all in white and
bring in
the New Year in complete revelry with the entire ALMA crew, DJ True,
Miller
Cruz, Joann Jimenez, Manchildblack and your favorite musicians and
performers.
The live music and Neo-Brasilian Fusion (Pagode, Samba, House,
Drum
n’Bass,
Mangue Beat, & Classics) will lead into Sullivan Room’s after-party.
Pace
yourself.
