A great time was had by all at the historic Asphaltum Springs on the Rancho La Brea on Wilshire Boulevard in Los Angeles this past weekend.
Within footsteps of LACMA and the Page Museum, the many Brazilians in Los Angeles had a party in Hancock Park.
I hung out with my friend Sergio Mielniczenko, who hosts the Global Village Show on KPFK on Fridays (listen to last Fridays show for a new Meninos do Morumbi track I remixed for Music is Hope Foundation), and the Brazilian Hour on PRSS on weekends.
Here are some photos of the day, including one of me with Carnaval Muse, Sonaria.
The stage, early on.
Great Brazilian food!
