Brazilian Day Japan 2012

Usually held at the beginning of September, Yoyogi Park's annual Brazilian festival has been shunted forward this year, meaning that it'll now be taking place at the height of the summer. Mmm, sweaty. Expect big crowds, exposed midriffs and plenty of hip-shaking – all fuelled by generous quantities of churrasco barbecue and caipirinha. This year's headliner is singer Preta Gil, daughter of the famous Gilberto, while ubiquitous media personality Ruy Ramos will also be making an appearance.
