Brasil night in the main arena and a capacity crowd (7000+) all ready for some Samba and Bossa Nova to dance the night away to.
The two shows did not disappoint the fans - with the front seats removed and plenty of room for dancing the whole crowd were in carnival mood. Earlier in the evening the parade around town featuring the 'Haricots Noirs' (black beans) a samba group from Lyon had led the way up to the antique theatre in great style.
Mart'nalai (reminding me visually of Joan Armatrading) sang a set of songs in exuberant style, jigging around the stage making use of every inch of space.
Carlinhos, of course, is a born showman and a darling of the new Brazilian music scene, his reggae/rock tinged music is instantly infectious and danceable - he himself leaps all over the stage, the pit and eventually the audience - who of course love him to bits and sing along all to all of his songs.
A great show to watch, photograph and to be part of - enjoy the photos which are in the order they were taken in so you can follow the show!
A night these kids will never forget!
Photographer Emra Islak gets into part mood!
Tonight's show promises another party atmosphere with the Mahotella Queens and Angelique Kidjo - It's African night!!
