Even when you don’t recognize the name offhand, you know the caliber of DJs and musicians presented at ALMA’s Brazilian monthly are worth checking. Irfan of ‘Balanco’ and ‘Rainy City’ fame is one of those cats you most definitely want to check. Serious about his Loft, House, Brazilian, and all things “groove”, for 6 years his Brazilian weekly and label ‘Balanco’ in Amsterdam has introduced the world over to the most soulful sounds of Brazil. Brazilian music enthusiasts and “lofters” alike won’t want to miss this rare pairing with resident DJs True and Miller Cruz.
This advent record collector and label owner learned how to program beats hanging with ‘A Guy Called Gerald’ back in the days in his home of Amsterdam. He was resident of both ' The Music Box ' (named after and influenced by Ron Hardy) and ' City People' which paid homage to Dave Mancuso's Loft. Nowadays he programs events permanently at club Ponana hosting guests like Gilles Peterson, Joe Claussell, DJ Spinna, Bobbito and most recently Questlove from 'The Roots ' just to name a few.
He also has a monthly called ‘Beleza’ at a Brazilian club named Guanabara in London. Irfan has opened for Angie Stone, Jair Oliveira, Airto, Azymuth, Omar, Tony Allen, Sharon Jones and Anitbalas amongst many others. His remix projects include the likes of Blaze, Roland Clark, Bah Samba and Tony Allen. Irfan's production moniker for Brazilian music 'Galera Da Cidade' proved very successful as an exclusive Japan only release. He regularly plays a selection of Nu soul, Hip Hop, Broken Beat, House, Rare Groove, Jazz, Afrobeat, Funk and Boogie at his latest residency, The Soul Tree, reinforcing his musical diversity and hunger for what he calls “groove” music
Expect a sure fire “dance ‘til it hurts” soundtrack for those that like their beats a little harder and their dance floors a little stickier, accompanied by NYC finest Brazilian musicians. The soul of NYC’s underground meets the soul of Brazil; ALMA hosted by Joann Jimenez and Manchildblack.
