The long Labor Day weekend might be one of the best inventions in the world, and this year I used it well. The weather provided the perfect setting for a monster street party, as tens of thousands of people from all around the globe gathered in the streets of New York to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Brazilian Day Festival.
As far as I could see from 44th Street, the whole of Sixth Avenue was a massive gyrating sea of yellow and green Brazil Day T-shirts as thousands danced to the music on the main stage. The vibe was amazing: A mix of young and old stood side by side and got down to the sounds of some of Brazil's biggest artists including Elba Ramalho, Carlinhos Brown, Alcione and the truly excellent Arlindo Cruz.
Backstage was heaven. The beer was ice cold, the food amazing and the yellow "Brasil" T-shirts never looked better.
