Soundsystem Brazil presents: Jammin’ in Lapa! See full details and schedule!

The Brazil Deluxe production company is starting a series of events aimed at expanding space for new talent. Every Thursday a blend of sounds will bring what's new to the Rio indie scene. Solo artists, DJs and bands will take turns at the turntables and microphones, bringing plenty of reggae and hip hop to SobradoRio, in Lapa, showing the public the best of what is being produced in Rio de Janeiro. On the hip hop scene, the bet at this start is on DJs and MCs who are part of the movement in Rio, such as DJs Juan, Barbão, Tamempi and MC Aori, one of the newest talents in freestyle, not to mention veteran Saddam, who now drops the turntables to take the microphone for the launch of his first CD. On the reggae side, the news comes through one of the best names in the genre in Recife, Marcelo Santana, who releases his third album, "Reggae na Alma". Together with the Pernambuco group, the electronic duo MM Dub shows its partnership with rapper and bassist, also from Recife, Marcelo Massacre. Defending the Rio reggae scene, Vell Rangel once again strikes with the excellent repertoire of his CD "A Luta Continua". Thursday nights at Jammin´na Lapa also feature DJ and producer Fernando Costa, bringing the heavy tracks from the "Cidade do Reggae" program. Lapa is going to boil !!!
