Known for being the largest Carnaval celebration on the West Coast, the 12th annual Brazilian Carnaval transforms Club Nokia into a Brazilian dance party with authentic music, dance, costuming, parading, drink and food. Carnaval is the most anticipated holiday in Brazil, a chance to let loose and dance the night away before the beginning of Lent. The club will be infused with the true Latin party spirit, sensuality and flavors, featuring an all-star band of acclaimed international musicians curated by Chalo Eduardo (who has performed with Santana and Ricky Martin) playing classic Carnaval hits. DJ Chris Brazil spins additional Brazilian dance music and the band SambaDa brings its high-energy percussion, danceable grooves and visually dynamic show to the Carnaval stage. Learn More

Taylor had amazing energy!!! It was completely impressive. In fact, I don't know if I've ever seen a performer so completey energized as he. His commitment to the material was astounding and he was clearly having a ball.Written on Mar 19 2009
Two things irritated me, though:
1.) The sound mix: he had a large backing band (7 members) and they tended to compete too much with his vocals which were not mixed forward prominently enough. Taylor can do a lot of interesting things with his voice and it was hard to distinguish them at the Roxy.
2.) The show was supposed to start at 8:00, but Taylor did not take the stage until 10:30. ANNOYING! Goldstar should have mentioned there were two opening acts.

He really put on a great show, but he was kind of hard to hear. The band drowned out his voice alot. And there was alot of pesky photographers that kept trying to push themselves to the front near the stage. Other than that, I really enjoyed myself.Written on Mar 19 2009

Great event. Both bands that played as openers were entertaining. It was hard to "hear" Taylor sing compared to the other artists. His music "behind" him drowned out his voice. That was disappointing. Other than a few annoying "pushy" people, it was a good experience.Written on Mar 19 2009

The performances were good, but the air conditioning was so inadequate that it surely scared at least half the early crowd away!Written on Mar 22 2009
