21 Feb 2012
9pm
$10
@ Elbo Room

This year is our third year doing the Fat Tuesday party, and for us it’s an exciting climax after the other 11 months having these parties every third Tuesday of the month at the Elbo Room.

FOGO NA ROUPA
SF Carnaval Champions Multiple Times
Music, Drummers and Dancers!
The energy this group brings encompasses what we at BWax think is the best groove around and a phenomenal adaptation of the Samba Bateria for the stage, mixing the primal batucada with a variety of guests who bring a harmonic equilibrium that leaves no booty unshaken. If you have never witnessed this Bay Area Institution founded by the late Carlos Aceituno, you are in for a on a rollercoaster ride of rhythm and visual beauty!

MONDO LOKO
Blazing Samba Funk
A 10-piece funk juggernaut paying homage to the sweet Brazilian Funk sound of the 70′s. These guys are real pros and roll with a 4-piece horn section. According to BWax they are automatically cool because of this, as well as unflappable and cool. Come have a cocktail and check out these newcomers, they’ll leave you wanting more!

BWax Residents DJ Carioca and DJ P-Shot, spinning the best of Brazilian Music, mixing up the genres and getting people moving on the dancefloor. Their adoring fans love it when they spin their unmatched Forró Set.

Call it what you will….
CARNAVAL…
MARDI GRAS…
… or FAT TUESDAY…

…BWax is gonna bring it on once again, the Best Fat Tuesday Party in town!!!
