the electronic/dj musical aspect of the show keeps
getting mentioned...BUT...the people of this show are
based out of Brasil. In addition to the DJ there is
alot of ethnic music as well; large drums and vocals
(almost chant like) that happens during the show.
I think the most important thing- is if you do go. Let
the music elitist in you go and just become a kid
again- have fun- jump around and look in all
directions because there's bound to be something
happening everywhere.
I've seen it once but I hope to see it again before it
leaves.
