There’s something about Brazil that exudes sexiness. Maybe it’s the way the tongue rolls when speaking the language. Or the beautiful, modelesque women who live there. Or samba.

The 305’s musical tastes are as diverse as the masses who live here. We’re a bunch of EDM beat freaks, salsa fanatics, Rasta lovers, hip-hop heads, hardcore punks, and indie obsessives. But we can all agree that music brings us together. This is especially true for Afrika Bambaataa’s Zulu Nation,…
