Bixaria & VRAU invite VITA for WorldPride!

Bixaria and Berlin collective VRAU join forces at Club Chrome - a multidisciplinary festival by Melkweg, bringing together music, art and activism. On Saturday 8 August, we celebrate the vibrant culture of queer baile funk from Brasil.

A celebration of queer Baile Funk culture - for and by immigrants

BIXARIA is an Amsterdam based Queer Brazilian Club Night focused on creating space for shaking all the rabas! In Brazilian slang, “shaking the raba” means dancing with your butt up and down as much as you want, in whatever way you like and as far as your imagination can take you! It is about fun, joy, sensuality and collective creativity, exactly the way we love it in the streets of Brazil.

VRAU is a queer Brazilian party based in Berlin, dedicated to promoting the vibrant culture of queer baile funk from Brasil. Organized by queer people for everyone open to dancing, connecting, and celebrating, VRAU celebrates the incredible diversity of music across Brasil. Bringing the absolute highlights of our community to Europe - their sound stretches from Baile Funk to other genres that define Brazilian queer culture. Expect loud bass, twerking, and expressing the joy of Brazilian music through movement. The floor was created years ago by HIØ with a core mission: to build an open, safe space for queer immigrants to express themselves freely in Berlin. 

VITA

For this edition, they invited singer, director, actress, and multidisciplinary artist VITA, for an electrifying performance. Her freshly released debut album 'Vita's House' is a performative manifesto, bringing funk, electronic music, dancehall and a fresh perspective to the contemporary Brazilian music scene.

Line-up

  • Live concert

    • VITA, real name Vita Pereira, is a singer, director, actress, and multidisciplinary artist from Ekê. Originally from Minas Gerais and raised in Barueri, São Paulo, she was a member of the duo Irmãs de Pau, which became a standout act in the Brazilian funk scene, performing at major national and international festivals and collaborating with artists such as Pabllo Vittar, Gaby Amarantos, Duquesa, and MC Luanna. With the duo, she surpassed one million monthly listeners across streaming platforms and accumulated over one million views on YouTube.

      Now pursuing a solo career, Vita released her debut album, Vita's House, featuring the title track produced by Brunoso. The album is a performative manifesto that brings together funk, electronic music, and dancehall, while deepening her artistic research into the "Estéticas da Putaria Brasileira" within contemporary Brazilian music.

  • DJ set

    • Founder of VRAU and based in Berlin, HIØ is a DJ and producer of Brazilian Funk and other sub-styles of Latin electronic music. Bringing the energy from queer Brazilian parties to Berlin, VRAU started in Germany a few years ago with VRAU. His sets are made for twerking all night long, giving a highlight to the Brazilian queer scene.   

    • XD Erica is a São Paulo–born, Berlin-based DJ and performer working with sound, club culture, and performance. Drawing from Brazilian funk, techno, hard dance, and Latin-peripheral music, her practice is deeply rooted in Black musical traditions shaped by the Black Music balls organized by her family in 1980s São Paulo. As a co-founder of the Brazilian collective Chernobyl, she explores queer, Black, and plus-size embodiment, confronting illness, transphobia, and systems of exclusion through music and performance.

    • FILAIPE is cunt, a cria and creative powerhouse from the outskirts of Rio, now unleashing batuque and booming broken rhythms in Europe. Funk, grime, footwork, kuduro, vogue and bouyon converge in a sonority connected to territory and ancestrality and described as ritual and rebellion.

  • Bixaria

    • BIXARIA is organised by La Cigra$$ninha, an artist with community-driven projects across multiple countries.

What to expect?

At BIXARIA, we don’t assume anyone’s gender, and we’re not concerned with how people look. This is a space for experimentation — on your own terms, in whatever way you need. We have a door policy and a Gender Awareness Team led by Mother Lucía: a gender coach and floor manager who’s always present to support, guide, and look after the well-being of our community throughout the night. Our space centres immigrant, BIPOC and experimental communities — the ones we are part of ourselves. But everyone who comes to support the vibe is welcome. BIXARIA is organised by La Cigra$$ninha, an artist with community-driven projects across multiple countries.

We recommend reading Bixaria's door policy before buying a ticket, to learn more about the experience.

YOU ARE NOT TOO OLD TO START | YOU ARE QUEER ENOUGH | READ THE DOOR POLICY | ARRIVE EARLY | COME ALONE | MAKE FRIENDS HERE
