the word from the venue
Timor‑Leste, Cabo Verde and Brazil come together for a huge night of rhythm, culture and community at Howler. This Samba Reggae Party brings the full spectrum of Lusophone sounds to Brunswick, blending the deep reggae pulse of Ras Jahknow (Cabo Verde), the explosive samba energy of Sambrazuka (Brazil), and the island‑style grooves of Paulo Almeida (Timor‑Leste).
Expect big drums, big bass and a dance‑floor atmosphere that moves from Rio’s samba streets to the reggae roots of West Africa and the warm island vibes of Timor. It’s a celebration of connection, culture and good vibes — a night where rhythms travel across oceans and land right in the heart of Melbourne.
Keeping the energy flowing, DJs Manny and Olita will bring a dynamic mix of reggae, dancehall, kizomba, Afro‑diaspora beats and much more, taking the party late into the night.
