Those bad boys from Brazil, DJ True and Miller Cruz, are back with another installment of ALMA (All for the Love of Music & Art) and this is a very festive one. Producer, Joann 'Muzikbutrfly' Jimenez and resident dj Miller Cruz will be celebrating their birthdays with a Haitian touch, as very special guest dj Jephte Guillaume will be blessing the decks and accompanying him are members of his Tet Kale Orchestra on the percussive side.

Born in Haiti, but uprooted to Brooklyn, Jephte’s music transforms Vodun spirituality and African ancestry into something universally understood. His Brazilian influences have always been evident in his compositions For Spiritual Life, especially in his contributions to “Trip do Brasil 1 & 2” (Sony), and in the studio he has become a sought-after bassist and multi-instrumentalist by the likes of Sting, Mary J. Blige, Toni Braxton, Wyclef Jean, Slick Rick, and Glen Scott (to name just a few). Jephte’s critically acclaimed debut album "Voyage of Dreams" on his label, Tet Kale Records, was released to universal praise and audiences worldwide have been swept away by his dj sets.

This leaves us all in store for another ALMA traditional, out-of-this world kinda night that will surely keep the groovesters jumpin' to the wee hours of the morning. You don’t have to be Brazilian to drink and dance like one, and at this celebration . . . you’ll be expected to.
