Anglo-Brazilian Christmas
Party!
The Hurlingham Club, Puntney London
The Hurlingham Club in sedate Putney, was the scene of Carnival
uproar last week: a black-tie Christmas Ball for 500+ guests, this
was all about raising money for children’s charities. This
elegant venue was shaken to the foundations as the 18 drummers of
the Brazilian bateria, BATUQUE pra VALER stomped
into the ballroom, making their presence firmly felt. The evening
dresses and dicky-bows at this prestigious fund-raiser let their
hair down as they succumbed to the compulsive rhythms.
The SO SAMBA floor show, led by established dancer/choreographer,
Edmilson de Souza, and his exceptionally talented troupe of 8 sequinned
and feathered dancers, enthralled the guests, leaving them open-mouthed.
After a sumptuous dinner and a very successful evening raising
money for worthy causes, the elegant guests took to the dance floor
again to the popular Brazilian sounds of the 6 piece – SOMBRASIL,
led by vocalist/percussionist of distinction, Xavier Osmir.
It was a great night on all fronts.
