Background

Born from Escola Brasileira de Capoeira’s efforts to spread its love of Brazil and martial arts, the BRASILIPINAS community has grown to encompass various events, most notably our annual Carnaval. In 2015 we follow up on the success of GOL (a world-cup viewing party during July 2014) with our 8th annual party at the Rockwell Tent named MADE IN BRAZIL. Recreating the street celebration with music, celebration, martial arts, cuisine, and authentic revelry found in an inviting atmosphere, experience Rio, Salvador, or São Paulo without even having to board a plane. 

    

Guests now come from all continents and countries such as Portugal, Macau, USA, Israel, France, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Taiwan, Australia, Canada, Hong Kong, and of course, Brazil. The party alone averages an attendance of 2,500-3,000 people a night.
