Sticky, icky, icky, icky; System on blast, cops just pass; Just seen a big ol' ass (It's Saturday!); Sticky, icky, icky, icky, Sticky, icky, icky, icky... If Ludacris were in Budapest, he'd probably be at one of these...

Brazil Carnival

Dürer Kert, 31st January, from 21:00, 600Ft
Ajtósi Dürer sor 19–21 [map]
Zichy Geza utca, (Trolley 74)

Perhaps most famed for the Capoeria style of dancing, Brazil is full of party culture and it has come to Budapest. If you've never seen it, Capoeria looks like people in white pants break dance fighting without actually hitting each other. Sure there won't be any bets place on a prospective winner, but it's a sight to see and tonight, shit's goin' down.

Also slated for the program is a Samba Queen contest, a Brazilian dance show, a concert by Grupo Takalaka, a wild night all for 600 forint. Don't forget your feathered boa.

Gift of Music Series - Moroccan Spring (Concert)
Trafó [map], 31st January, 20:00, 2700Ft (2300Ft advance)
Ever wonder what traditional North Aftrican music sounds like when it's fused with jazz and electronic? Karim Ziad is the answer. What about Moroccan music mixed with the sounds analagous to Central and Eastern Europe? The Chalaban Band's got you covered. Official info here.

Bujdosó János (Concert)
Sirály, 31st January, 21:00
Fact: there is little information available on the Internet about Bujdosó János. Fact: this is what he looks like. Fact: he plays the guitar. Fact: there will be special guests. Will it be good on the other hand? Probably, since it is at one of the hipper bars in town.
