Liverpool Samba School Blog

A special treat for all of you capital of culture lovelies: A big night of sparkles, samba, live drumming, fiery dancers, and DJs in Liverpool’s own Rio-style carnival party! Chase the wintery blues away and get some copacabana crazy in Liverpool’s best night out!

A change from their regular venue of the New Picket, the Liverpool Samba School will be shimmying  over to the fabulous Latin Quarter this Saturday to bring you their spectacular Carnival club night! A hop and a skip from Hardman St and Renshaw St, is the fabulous El rincon Latino bar, (you can see it from upstairs in the glass atrium at Hannah’s bar, Hardman St) where you can enjoy a big night of Brasilian beats, live drummers, and samba moves –from 10pm til 3am.

To make the experience all the more authentic, Bar El rincon Latino has a delicious range of Havana based cocktails and many others to get you in the mood to “bailer”!

With an Ecuadorian head chef, the El rincon restaurant also serves a good selection of  tasty South American treats (£3 – £4.50): from Chorizo Frito al Vino (spicy chorizo sausage fried in wine with spicy potatoes, yum); to Tortilla Espanola (spanish omelette); to simply Perro Caliente (latin-style hotdog); and Pollo Picante {spicy chicken tortilla). Not forgetting Empanadas Chilenas de queso (…they’re Chilean cheese pasties, love!)

Prizes for correct pronunciation*

Doesn’t matter what you wear, get dolled up or not, you’ll be surrounded by huge Brasilian costumes anyway, so mingling is a laff! …just smile your head off and keep dancing! You won’t be able to help yourself!

So now you know what’s going on, and where it is, all you need to do is come along and the Liverpool Samba School will transport you to the warmth of South America for one glorious evening. Cheaper than a plane ticket, chicos!

Obrigada, Soraya x
