Win tickets to Guanabara's NYE Party

Guanabara is London's largest late night music venue, open seven nights a week with different bands, DJs and lots of dancing. The soul of Brazil in the heart of London, Guanabara is hugely popular with Brazilians and Londoners alike.  The Head Chef Pietro Lima Rocha, formerly at the Copacabana Palace Hotel, has created a menu that showcases the variety and styles of cooking from across this vast country - from the African influenced north eastern Moqueca to the southern grown Picanha. Guanabara also presents an extensive selection of Brazilian wines selected by Junior Vianna, Brazil's first Master of Wine, as well as serving wonderful Amazonian fruit caipirinhas and Brazil's most popular beers.

For a sure-fire, riotous knees-up, head to Guanabara this New Year's Eve. The unanimous feeling by all who grooved the night away into '08, was that they got down at one of the best parties ever. For this reason, sizzling funk-samba-popsters Mandinga, plus the explosive London School of Samba return again for this year's Reveillon, alongside resident DJs Mark Robertson, Limão and D.Vyzor, playing cutting edge Brazilian beats.

"If you are looking for a great party with the ever-unique Brazilian vibe and music to lose yourself in, Guanabara is definitely the place to spend this New Year's Eve", says Guanabara music manager Isabel Groves.  "With two amazing live bands, a percussion show, plus our very best DJs, we'll welcome 2009 in a summery style, so drop your coats at the cloakroom and get hot with us!"

On DJ duties is veteran remixer/ producer Mark Robertson. Under his Spiritual South moniker, Mark has remixed for Defected records and his productions are played by Masters At Work, Gilles Peterson and Danny Krivit, to name but three. Expect a banging selection of Brazilian percussion and quirky jacking electronics with soul.

From samba to nu-Brazil with the latest remixes thrown in, DJ Limão is a fixture on both the European and Brazilian DJ scenes, playing across the board from old/ nu school sambas to  batucadas, soul, funk, rock and house. Limao has DJd alongside Gilberto Gil, Seu Jorge, DJ Marky and Gilles Peterson. Watch out for his Latin bootlegs of The White Stripes and Gnarls Barkley (amongst others). Plus, joining Guanabara on this special evening will be Brazilian producer/DJ D.Vyzor, who will mix his inimitable blend of all things Latin, electronic and black-music oriented.

We have three pairs of ticket to the Guanabara New Year's Eve party to give away. This also includes a free caipirinha on arrival.
