    ALMA (soul) “All for the Love of Music & Art” is a Brazilian collective that fuses live instrumentation with Brazilian grooves. DJ True and Miller Cruz marry the traditional sounds of samba, pagode, bossa nova to house, drum n’ bass, Latin & Afro beats – what a beautiful union. The combination has produced quite a serious monthly party introducing the world to their own unique style they themselves call “Neo-Brasilian Fusion”. They share the heart and intense party nature of Brazilians with their patrons by bringing back memories of old NYC, where the party spirit was once similar to that of Brazil in many ways.

    “Brazilian parties seem like the shit these days. Every time you turn a corner, there’s a new one springing up – but there’s nothing like the originals to show you how it’s really done. The ALMA party has been shaking up the city since 2004 with the boogie lovin’ guidance of founders Joann Jimenez, Manchildblack and resident DJs True and Miller Cruz. They’ve gotten so good at what they do, they’ve even coined their own brand of Brazilian grooves they like to call it “Neo-Brasilian Fusion” (a mix of samba, pagode, bossa nova, house, drum n’bass and more. We like to call it a damn good time.” – Keisha Franklin, Village Voice
