As the temperatures drop outdoors, the ALMA crew continues to
heat things up for the holidays with 2 very special events, leading up
to their traditional all White New Year’s Eve Party.
First, on December 16th, to celebrate the birthday of cool crooning,
party host, Manchildblack, ALMA welcomes the man Dr. Bob Jones
(ChilliFunk) calls “the master of all things spiritual and meaningful.â€
Veteran DJ, Producer and Owner of Tribal Winds Records, Antonio
Ocasio will be presenting his take on “Neo-Brasilian Fusionâ€.
This will kick off a holiday exploration into the Roots of Rhythm as
ALMA joins “Masters At Work†on Thursday, December 22nd, for their
Annual Christmas Party at Deep. Allow this very creative collective
featuring DJs True & Miller Cruz along with hosts Muzikbutrfly and
Manchildblack, keep you dancing to beats from New York to
Johannesburg and every hot spot in between. Pack light for this
incredibly sexy journey into sound and don’t worry, they’ll get you
back in time for Christmas!
This all leads up to them bringing that extra Brazilian bottom for
ALMA’s Annual New Year’s Eve White Party*. Their goal is to share
the heart and intense party nature of Brazilians with their audience,
and so far they have been successful (just check their website for
photos). With exceptionally talented live drummers and musicians
always by their side, one of ALMA’s biggest draws is their audience
themselves, and their energy. With the positive White touch added to
the festivities, you won’t feel as guilty about your utterly
debaucherous ways the next day (make sure to book in advance).

* In every city in Brazil, Brazilians have a big party on New Year’s
Eve, especially in Rio de Janeiro where people go to the beaches to
watch fireworks. They usually wear white clothes on New Year’s Eve
to bring good luck and peace for the year that will follow. The party
used to be a kind of religious party, but today it has become a big
show for tourists and citizens alike. In Brazil, most New Year’s Eve
customs are related to good luck or fortune. After midnight people go
to the beach, jump seven waves and throw flowers in the sea while
making a wish. This will bring them good luck and fortune. They say
that the goddess who protects the sea (YEMANJÃ:Ye + omo + eja)
will make their wishes come true. Because of that, some people also
light candles in the sand on the beach.
