Simba is the newest dance craze that mixes samba & timba, which is performed in a group dance called Cuadrado.   

Maybe the first part about simba was just a dream I had, but you can check out the Africa to Brazil show this Wednesday, 4/21 at Nectar featuring live music, dancers & DJ.  Only $5 and starts at 8pm so you can enjoy hump day and still wait up for work the next day. 

It’ll be a social music culture event with some Cuba and Kick Me in it.  Invite on Facebook  or Nectar’s site

Live music by:
Sambatuque (Brazilian)
Thione Diope & Yeke Yeke (West Africa)
