SambaFunk at La Pena with Bayonics, Eli Efi, & Banda Bahia Soul

SambaFunk! played alongside the Bayonics, Eli Efi, and Banda Bahia Soul at La Pena on December 3rd, 2011.

It was a jam packed house as beats, rhymes, and rhythms took over La Pena in Berkeley.

One of the highlights of the show was Eli Efi, a hip hop artist born and raised in São Paulo, Brasil. In 1988, he founded the politically charged rap group DMN was its front man until 2004.  Eli Efi has become well-known and respected for his hard-line stance against racism, poverty, and injustice not only onstage but in his community as well. Eli Efi has worked in numerous community based and political projects.  You can find out more about Eli Efi and his music here.
