A night of global grooves, infectious rhythms, fresh sounds, and vibrant energy. Come and feel the magic of Brazil and beyond with Olayá and Tigas
ABOUT THE ARTISTS AND DJS
Join us for an unforgettable evening with Olayá, the female-led flute and percussion band infusing the elemental force of Brazilian bandas de pifanos with lush vocal harmonies and driving rhythms. Formed in 2022, Olayá has quickly become a highlight of the UK’s Brazilian music scene, selling out shows and headlining festivals like Jaminaround and Basket of Light. With their contagious energy, the band blends danceable forró with lush, contemplative melodies, creating an experience that is both deeply rooted in tradition and excitingly fresh.
Olayá's musicians have shared stages with legends like Gal Costa and Gilberto Gil, and their performances have been featured on BBC Radio 3 and Jazz FM. Expect a dynamic set that will move both your body and soul, as they bring the vibrant sounds of Brazil to the heart of Hackney.
"Olayá are probably the most fun band I’ve ever seen, but more than that, they’re incredible musicians. One of the most exciting Brazilian music acts in the UK!" — Dr. Gabrielle Messeder, Lecturer in Brazilian Music
"A joyous, sunny explosion of positive energy. Authentically Brazilian and funky!" — Olly Keen, Curator of Jaminaround Festival
The night kicks off with Tigas, the DJ, music researcher, and co-founder of the N’Calma Collective, setting the vibe from the very start. Tigas will spin an eclectic mix of Brazilian and world music, blending Samba, Funk, Soul, and contemporary beats, bringing his deep knowledge of global rhythms to the dancefloor. After Olayá's live performance, Tigas will take over once again, keeping the energy high and the beats flowing until 2am.
