VA - Brazilian Beats Brooklyn (2006)

For the last 5 years, Sean Marquand and Greg Caz have built BBB a Williamsburg, Brooklyn party of Brazilian rare grooves, Tropicalia, funk, soul, samba-rock and all points in between. Although both are Americans, the event has been fuelled by the several years Sean spent in Bahia and Greg's complete immersion in Brazilian music in every and any form, from any era. The party has developed into a local legend with the help of several much-loved underground mix CDs, and their reputation continues to grow in all parts of the globe: Sean's personal and successful mission to resurrect Black Rio's legendary Uniao Black, while Greg's rocked the hottest Brazilian parties around the globe, in this year alone London Germany, Scotland,Hawaii, Vienna, Istanbul and LA.
