<p>Kizomba is one of the most popular genres of dance and music originating from Angola. The word "Kizomba" means "celebration" or "party" in Kimbundu, a Bantu language. Kizomba, derived from the traditional dances Semba (Angola) and Pasada (Cape Verde) among others, is a sensual partner dance coupled with music from Angola, Cape Verde and the Caribbean primarily sung in Portuguese or French Creole. It is music with a romantic flow. <br /><br /><strong>>>>The Brothers Kizomba Deejays (Christopher & David)<<<</strong><br />Influenced as a young child by Rhythm & Blues, Classical, Jazz, Country, Salsa, African Rhythms and contemporary music, among others, David started taking dance seriously after younger brother Christopher introduced him to Salsa. Introduced to Kizomba after four years of dancing Salsa and Salsa Rueda, he now teaches Kizomba with his brother as “The Brothers Kizomba.”<br /><br />Also influenced as a young child by the same music as brother David, Christopher was persuaded to try formal Salsa dance lessons. After five years of Salsa and four years of Salsa Rueda, a single Kizomba song led to Kizomba lessons and now teaching with brother David as “The Brothers Kizomba.”<br /><br /><a href="http://www.thebrotherskizomba.com/?fbclid=IwAR24Gfa-MWy_NMHH_32bZrcJmhenXx-LVjB_lbjgq0PXhTpGtWt4C3hqcu0" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" data-lynx-mode="hover" data-lynx-uri="https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.thebrotherskizomba.com%2F%3Ffbclid%3DIwAR24Gfa-MWy_NMHH_32bZrcJmhenXx-LVjB_lbjgq0PXhTpGtWt4C3hqcu0&h=AT3_UJ959dDBJFIu3bdopfQe1TSKlimGaeefjo1N5Vd6tDfw9Vn0I4MHt-RYgj6TWukesbPLcHLXqLW1G4ZBbhxhrhYRPRUg_YdI4J6hlOHSl4_6EkTU6QnHQSjWGf3MOQ">www.thebrotherskizomba.com</a></p>

<p>MAX KANE is a DJ and Producer who embodies the analog imagination and futuristic-funk landscape that will no doubt change the game.</p>
<p>21+, must have ID</p>
<p>$10/$5 before 11pm</p>
<p>At the time he was working to master his role behind the turntables, MAX KANE was also busy co-founding and establishing the legendary 4oneFUNK crew in a competitive and evolving Bay Area turntablist arena. After gaining battle recognition in the 2003 ITF World Teams and 2004 ITF USA solo competitions, MAX KANE remained dedicated to bring his sound out of San Francisco and to the forefront of the world.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>After showcasing his skills for crowds throughout the country and in Germany, Puerto Rico, New Zealand and Italy, it only made sense for Kane to return to the Bay and begin hooking up with some of the best and well-known DJs around like he has done with SPEAKERBOXXX, which happens every 1st Friday at Luka’s Taproom & Lounge.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Now including The Bay Area’s #1 Radio Station DJ, Lexx Jones of KMEL FM, has taken off for the Town. Together, their sounds collaboratively represent a well-versed and worldly knowledgeable, yet street-savvy set.</p>
