ALMA Brazilian New Year's Eve All White Party!

[darkstar1]

The ultimate goal at ALMA is to share the heart and intense party

nature

of Brazilians with their audience, and so far, no event has been more

evident of that intention than their traditional All-White New Year¹s

Eve

party. With exceptionally talented drummers and musicians always by

their

side, one of ALMA's biggest draws is their audience

themselves and the amount energy they bring to these special

occasions. And

with the positive all white touch added to the festivities, you won't

feel

as guilty about your utterly debaucherous ways the next day.

The tradition started in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil where the natives

celebrate

by dressing in white and going to the beach to watch the fireworks on

New

Year¹s Eve. After midnight, they jump seven waves and throw flowers in

the

sea while making a wish. Some people also light candles in the sand on

the

beach. This is believed to bring good luck and fortune. They say that

the

goddess who protects the sea (YEMANJÃ:Ye + omo + eja) will make their

wishes

come true.

We invite you to take part in our tradition, dress all in white and

bring in

the New Year in complete revelry with the entire ALMA crew, DJ True,

Miller

Cruz, Joann Jimenez, Manchildblack and your favorite musicians and

performers.

The live music and Neo-Brasilian Fusion (Pagode, Samba, House, Drum

n'Bass,

Mangue Beat, & Classics) will lead into Sullivan Room's after-party.

Pace

yourself.
