🇧🇷Ocabrazoka is a Brazilian organization focused on celebrating and promoting Brazilian culture in the local community, fostering integration and inclusion through engaging events and activities! Ocabrazoka is a Brazilian organization with charitable status aiming to celebrate and promote Brazil and its cultural and linguistic traditions, to raise its profile, to introduce and share our culture to

the local community, thereby promoting cohesion, inclusion, integration and well-being.

ÓcabrazÓka borrows the concept of Oca/Oka from the Tupi-Guarani, one of the four major language families of tropical and equatorial South America, and which has had a vast influence on the development of the Portuguese spoken in Brazil since its ‘discovery’ (sic) in 1500. Set up in January 2015 in Hastings/St Leonards, ÓcabrazÓka celebrates and shares the diversity of the Brazilian cuisine, regional music and dance, arts, folklore, drumming, capoeira and other aspects of our culture, including Portuguese language classes. We believe that we all benefit by understanding a bit more about each other, and the value and importance of our similarities and differences in creating a vibrant, accepting and united community.

ÓcabrazÓka is the home of all things Brazilian; our great Oca for everyone to come together and be merry.

We extend our heartfelt appreciation to everyone who attended this incredible event. It was truly the best crowd we've ever seen at a Brazilian night festa that we organized. You made it unforgettable!

Our deepest gratitude goes to the owners and staff of The Forbidden Fruit for their invaluable support in helping us create a fantastic experience for all who danced and celebrated with us.

A huge thank you to the Dende drummers and Ana Carolina for your phenomenal performances—you all truly rocked the show!

Nadia Pimentel added a special touch with her infectious voice, vibrant energy, and charisma.

We also want to thank Elliot (Easy Green DJ) for his initiative in fundraising for Ocabrazoka, as well as our amazing guest DJs, Vix and DJ Mattaios.

Lastly, a heartfelt thanks to our friends and my beloved family for being there.

Obrigada,
