Ciranda Elétrica lands at Brixtonia Lounge on Saturday 22 November, turning 35 Brixton Station Road into a North Brazilian and cumbia soundclash from 8PM till late. The name reaches back to ciranda, a circle dance and song tradition from Brazil’s north eastern coast, where hand drums, caixas and shakers drive a shared step and call and response vocals keep everyone moving in the same loop. In Brixton that spirit becomes a tight, low ceiling room, a floor that packs in quickly and a system set so that sub bass moves through the crowd while offbeat percussion lines and hand drums twist above it, with the booth close enough that every kick drum lands in your chest.

Curated by Brazilian DJ AmarAll and selector Kin Krystal, Ciranda Elétrica sits at the junction of London’s Afro Latin, global bass and roots scenes. AmarAll’s Afro Latin sets connect Brazilian percussion, funk, carimbó and related club sounds, shaped by residencies with Jambu Music Jam and Casa El Pastor and appearances for Soho House and Medicine Festival. Kin Krystal adds her own Afro Latin selections, threading deep drums and melodic hooks into long, slow rising peaks.

Special guest DR Perra arrives as a conduit for Latin underground club culture, cutting between deep cumbia, tropical bass and trippy edits that stretch from ancestral percussion patterns to synth-heavy sound design. Her style favours rolling percussion, weighty subs and spacious dubbing, keeping the room in a constant push between tension and release.

The whole night runs under the BaiLA banner, the South America rooted collective founded by AmarAll with Ciranda Elétrica kept strictly about Latin, Afro-Latin and tropical sounds on the system, with a crowd that comes to dance, not to be checked at the door, and a floor open to anyone, however they arrive.
