Kina Zore presents: Tropical Night

Welcome to the first ever Kina Zoré Tropical Night at Bella Luna Restaurant! Come join the Kina Zoré family at the Milky Way for a late night dance party to groovy music from tropical places! Joining us will be DJ Riverport and forro unit Trio Zabumbeca. 

KINA ZORÉ: Triumphant horns, organic vocals, and swirling polyrhythms make Kina Zoré a force of hypnotic beauty. Fronted by soft-spoken and charismatic Mozambican songwriter Helder Tsinine, the six-piece powerhouse commands the dance floor with their earthy-yet-electric African rhythms that echo from Helder’s hometown of Maputo, Mozambique. Since winning the 2011 Peacedriven Songwriting Contest, Kina Zoré has attracted international attention, including features on BBC Africa, the Christian Science Monitor, and the Agência Angola Press. With fans flocking to dance floors across the Northeast, it should come as no surprise that the name “Kina Zoré” itself is a call to dance.

TRIO ZABUMBECA: Trio Zabumbeca celebrates the folkloric roots of northeastern Brazilian forro' music. Grab a partner and dance to the rustic groove of the oito baixos (8-button accordion), rabeca (fiddle), zabumba (bass drum) and triangulo (triangle)!
