For the next Nossa! dancefloor wiggle, we're seriously excited to be welcoming one of our favourite DJs over to Manchester all the way from Brazil!
Tahira started out in the buzzing DJ scene of 90s São Paulo and has since become one of the foremost champions of Afro-Brazilian sounds. While many diggers of Brazilian music lean towards the American influenced takes on funk and disco, Tahira squares in on the country's rich musical lineage as part of the greater African diaspora, with a pronounced emphasis on African rhythms. He's an absolute expert at weaving these organic, percussive sounds together to keep feet stomping on through the night.
As a music researcher, Tahira has turned out two incredible compilations that have found plenty of airtime with the Nossa! crew. Levanta Poeira (2018) spans 1976 to 2016 and is a brilliant introduction to Afro-Brazilian rhythms, touching on forró, samba de coco and indigenous vocal styles as well as some fantastic remixes and electronic fusions. Brasil Novo (2022) was curated in collaboration with Musica Macondo's Tim Garcia and showcases the contemporary sounds of samba, candomble, batuques, jazz, folk and more.
Tahira's own productions are also heavily influences by Brazilian, African and Latin sounds and have earned him acclaim from the likes of Gilles Peterson, Jamz Supernova, Mr Scruff, Zakia, John Gómez and more.
Support on the night comes from Nossa!'s own Hannah O'Gorman and Keltoi plus very special guest, Me Gusta co-founder and great friend of the crew, Atiké!
We know this is going to be such a special one and we can't wait to have you join us on the dancefloor.

Our number one focus is creating a warm, welcoming and safe space for our community to explore the music and be themselves. If you need help for any reason don't hesitate to let someone from Nossa! know (you'll see us hopping up and down from the stage and you can find pics of us on our Instagrams for reference!)
Dance hard, be kind to each other and don't hesitate to ask for that track ID.
