Brazilian Nites is a full-service production company which celebrates the culture of Brazil in Southern California and beyond. Founded in 1989, in the midst of the lambada fever by former dancer Patricia Leão, the company helped this energetic rhythm advancing internationally by promoting shows and dance contests all over the United States.

Since then, the company has expanded its scope and has been producing shows in the U.S. to some of the most legendary Brazilian artists including Caetano Veloso, Gilberto Gil, Gal Costa, Jorge Benjor, Roberto Carlos, Vanessa da Mata, Milton Nascimento, and Maria Rita.

Brazilian Nites also organizes two major annual events. Carnaval, celebrated between February and March, is the company most anticipated event of the year as a party that transports the allure of Brazil to California. Past venues includes the Hollywood Palladium, Queen Mary, Club Nokia, Conga Room and El Rey Theatre. Since 2000, the company has presented the most authentic Carnaval artists including Olodum and Imperatriz Leopoldinense samba school, along with local talents and stunning passistas (samba dancers).
