MUSIC recommended events  Brazil’s love of pop-locking and top-rocking has been well documented since the Black Juniors declared “Quero Dançar o Break” in a crude early-1980s rap. That Brazilian b-boys would fuse hip-hop and the centuries-old martial art of capoeira is as natural as the nectar flowing from Copacabana juice bars. Choreographer Bruno Beltrão adds the grace and flair of ballet and modern dance to this stunning display of human locomotion. – Thomas Fawcett See all of today's Music listings ARTS recommended events
