Dj GARrinchA, one of the YAAM residents spinner and creator of the Tropical Diaspora Roots Sound, describes his party’s musical ethos as “A new platform for live music and performance in Berlin dedicated to the fusion of different styles, a culture way that is especially cultivated in Brazil since the days of Tropicalia.” He’s right: The melting pot of samba, cumbia, dancehall, Afrobeat, Funk, Soul, Salsa and more results in a bump ‘n’ grind groove that the people can’t get enough of. Fresh from gigs in Brazil, the DJs are kicking off a new series of monthly parties in the YAAM (<a href="http://www.yaam.de" rel="noreferrer nofollow">www.yaam.de</a>), featuring many Bands and DJ´s from Europe and worldwide.

Der brasilianische DJ Garrincha kommentiert die Spiele und belebt jede Party unabhängig vom Ergebnis. An der Spree gelegen, mit chilliger Atmosphäre, mit jugendlichem und alternativem Publikum.

"A well-known, alternative club in Friedrichshain, Jamaican tinged with tropical reggae, latin, afro and brazil nights, have become legendary in the city. YAAM is not only one of the most popular clubs in Berlin, but is also associated with numerous social projects (eg street children in Sao Paulo or construction of schools in Burkina Faso). The Brazilian DJ Garrincha comments soccer games and animates any party regardless of the outcome. On the river Spree, with chill atmosphere, with a youthful and alternative audience. Ideal to hang out with a cold beer with friends. "- Berlinda
