Let it naturally flow: Daniela Mercury + World Cup Final!

Hello, Berlin! ❤️

This Sunday, July 19, is finally the day we'll all raise our hands and sing together: “A cor dessa cidade sou eu, o canto dessa cidade é meu”…
"The color of this city is me, the song of this city is mine..."

Our beloved Daniela Mercury is bringing her CIRANDAIA Tour to Berlin, performing with all the energy and passion that made her one of Brazil's greatest artists. Before arriving here, she'll perform in Barcelona on July 17, Hamburg on July 18, and Amsterdam on July 27. How amazing is that?

Make sure to tell your friends, because this is going to be a truly unforgettable night.

Still haven't got your ticket? Here's an exclusive discount code for the Berlin and Hamburg concerts: “AXE5”.

And that's not all... Right after Daniela's concert in Berlin, we'll be screening the World Cup Final.

If you've been following the tournament, stay with us to watch the match together. We won't make any predictions (or jokes...) - but one thing is certain: it's going to be an exciting evening, so it's worth securing your spot.

But if there's one thing we Brazilians truly know how to do, it's celebrate. The party doesn't stop there.

On Thursday, July 23, you'll find yourself getting off at Warschauer Straße, walking towards Astra Kulturhaus, and before you know it, singing at the top of your lungs: 

”Eu te quero só pra mim

Como as ondas são do mar

Não dá pra viver assim

Querer sem poder te tocar”

"I want you all to myself,
Like the waves belong to the sea
I can't go on living like this
Wanting you without being able to touch you"

That's right!

Grupo Revelação is coming to Berlin to celebrate 30 years of samba, and we're already getting emotional just thinking about singing every single song together. And yes... we all know every single lyric.

Thankfully, it's summer. Thankfully, we love a good party. And thankfully, Brazilian culture never stops giving us reasons to celebrate.

On August 1, we'll gather once again for our beloved Arraiá da Bossa at Festsaal Kreuzberg - our Brazilian Festa Junina, filled with live music, dancing, delicious food, and everything that makes this tradition so special.

This year, we're thrilled to welcome Banda da Roda to the line-up for what promises to be our biggest Festa Junina yet.

And because apparently we don't know how to slow down...

On August 6, we'll welcome the incredible Ana Frango Elétrico back to Berlin for another unforgettable concert full of amazing grooves. 

As you know, we could easily spend the rest of the year telling you about everything we've planned...

Trust us—there's a lot. Long live Brazilian music. Long live Brazilian culture.

We may not have won the World Cup and trust us, we diserved that for many reasons! But we still have countless reasons to celebrate.

See you on the dance floor. ❤️

The Queen of Axé in Berlin! 

What an honour. What a joy. Bringing Daniela Mercury to Berlin feels like a true milestone for us. 

Besides Berlin, she'll also perform in Barcelona, Hamburg and Amsterdam and we're incredibly excited to finally make this long-awaited tour happen.

Few artists represent the power, joy and diversity of Brazilian music as brilliantly as Daniela Mercury.

For more than three decades, she has taken the sounds of Bahia and Afro-Brazilian culture to audiences all over the world, becoming one of the most influential voices in Brazilian music.

This year, Daniela will receive the Latin Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award, one of the highest honours in Latin music, recognizing artists whose careers have made an extraordinary contribution to musical culture.

She now joins an exceptional group of Brazilian women who have received this distinction, including Astrud Gilberto and Rita Lee.

As Daniela herself says: "I chose an unlikely profession, but I succeeded. My art exists to strengthen my people's self-esteem—to empower women, Black people and the LGBTQIA+ community."

At 60 years old, Daniela Mercury has sold over 20 million records, released 26 albums, and performed hundreds of concerts around the world.

Expect an unforgettable evening featuring classics that have shaped generations: O Canto da Cidade, Swing da Cor, Rapunzel, Música de Rua, Nobre Vagabundo, and many more.

For one night, Festsaal Kreuzberg will become a little piece of Bahia. Come sing, dance and celebrate with us.

We'll also have delicious Brazilian food available before and throughout the event, along with the famous Bossa Caipirinha Bar—which, as many of you already know, proudly serves some of the best caipirinhas in Berlin.

We also want everyone to feel welcome. For this special concert, we've prepared a dedicated area for families with children and guests with reduced mobility, ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable experience for all.

Families: Children up to 12 years old can attend Daniela Mercury's concert free of charge when accompanied by a responsible adult. We recommend age-appropriate hearing protection for younger children.
