- NEWS FLASH!
Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco has asked Brazil Camp to produce BRAZILIAN PERCUSSION DAY at Yerba Buena.
The event will be held on Sunday, August 31 from 1 pm to 3 pm. This is the day after camp officially ends (Labor Day weekend). It is a free, outdoor event for the people of the San Francisco Bay area.
If you are in camp the second week you might want to consider staying around for the celebration. A special gig/party promises to be in the works for later that night. - www.brazilmax.com
