Afon Sistema, and Bristol at large, are blessed with the privilege of hosting a night of music with a key member of the Afro-Brazilian cultural and musical tradition of Maracatu de Baque Virado - Karen Aguiar.
Karen is the current regent, caretaker and master of Maracatu Nação Leão Coroado, the longest perpetually running Maracatu nation in the world. She is fiercely talented, and is 1 of only 2 female leaders in the sphere of Maracatu Nação. It's an absolute pleasure to share the stage with her to bring you an unforgettable night of music.
Come experience an evening of unique, thunderous and unrelenting percussion and song, for what is sure to be a monumentally fun Friday night.
