READING BRAZILIAN FUNK VS. REGGAETON

Reading Brazilian Funk vs. Reggaeton takes over CÉLESTE COCKTAIL & SHISHA LOUNGE on Friday 6 November, running from 9:00pm through to 2:30am on Saturday morning. It's put on by Reading Latin & Brazilian Events, and the whole night is built around bringing the energy and party vibes of Brazil to Reading, with the town's Brazilian and international communities in mind.

As the name suggests, the music is the main thing. The bill puts Brazilian Funk and Reggaeton front and centre, but it doesn't stop there. You'll also hear Samba, Forró, Pagode and Sertanejo, alongside a good run of Brazilian hits. It's a wide spread of sounds from across the country, so whether you're there for the funk or the samba, there's plenty to keep you moving. The organisers describe it as a night of Brazilian music, dancing and great company.

CÉLESTE is in The Village, Unit 5A, 19-23 King Street, RG1 2HG. A few practical things to keep in mind before you head out: you'll need a valid photo ID to get in, and the dress code is 'dress to impress', though smart and clean trainers are welcome if that's more your speed. Tickets are tiered, so the sooner you grab yours, the cheaper it is: Early Bird is £5, Standard is £7, and the Final Release goes up to £10. It kicks off at 9:00pm on Friday and runs until 2:30am on Saturday.
