Virada Cultural 2007

Virada Cultural, a two day music/arts/culture public event held in Sao Paulo. This year 3.5 million people participated. From 6 pm to 6am Sao Paulo's streets where full of people enjoying live music and events. I went with some friends of mine. We started at Anhangabau where the plaza was filled with people watching a dance performance. Then we headed to Rua Direita where there was an all night electronic music event. Over 20 different Djs played. Then at Praca da Se there was a famous Brazilian 90's rock band playing. After that we went to Ave. Paulista to the Casa da Rosas where there was a live Forro band from the northeast of Brazil. We stayed there dancing Forro until about 5 am! I didn't bring my camera because it would probably have gotten stolen, and I didn't feel like lugging it around, so unfortunately no pictures. It was an amazing sight seeing the streets of Sampa which are usually filled with unending traffic, filled with people dancing all night long!
