Virada Cultural brings Toots And The Maytals and The Abyssinians to São Paulo! Check it out!

The Virada Cultural, a mega event organized by Secretaria Municipal de Cultura, has welcomed millions and millions of people to its editions since 2005. The likes of Skatalites, Big Youth, U-Roy, Steel Pulse and Pablo Moses have already graced the event, which once again surprises with its heavyweight attractions. The names of 2012 are nothing more, nothing less than Toots and The Maytals and The Abyssinians, two monsters of the reggae world. In addition to the years and years of experience of these legends, the public will be able to witness emblematic classics of the genre such as "54-46 Was My Number" and "Satta Massagana", by Toots and Abyssinians respectively. Another name that promises to give Virada a buzz is Katchafire, a New Zealand band that has been gaining prominence on the world stage, in addition to having played great shows in 2011 on their first tour in Brazilian lands.
