Alma de Cuba, Liverpool’s most exciting venue hosted ‘Festival de Cuba’ in August, with 3 key nights starring Liverpool Samba School. Friday and Saturday’s carnival parties were amazing, with everyone entering the ‘party in the latin (or should that be lusophone?) quarter’ spirit – the heady mix of samba, cocktails and beautiful people culminated in the grand finale party!
With performances in the courtyard and on the altar (strange juxtaposition!) the nights were full of energy and the glamourous crowds were so amazing, especially with their little fluorescent maracas and tambourins (- I think they must have been from a rum promotion ?)
there’s a gallery of images of the night here. Let me know if you have any pictures you’d like to add.
Thanks to Alma de Cuba for organizing a great week of events, we look forward to bringing Rio-style samba back there again soon!
