BIXARIA + VRAU

WELCOME TO BIXARIA – a queer club night from Amsterdam where all the rabas are free to shake! BIXARIA is an Amsterdam based Queer Brazilian Club Night focused on creating space for shaking all the r4bas! For this edition, we are thrilled to partner with our sisters from Berlin, VRAU, closing the programme of World Pride Amsterdam. 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. Live concert: Katy da Voz e as Abusadas Line-up: HIØ | XD Erica | Filaipe Performance: Sly Fox BIXARIA: Mother Lucía | La Cigra$$ninha | Nad | Forest | Gender Awareness Team | Volunteer Stage Dancers VRAU VRAU is a queer Brazilian party based in Berlin, dedicated to promoting the vibrant culture of queer baile funk from Brasil. We celebrate the incredible diversity of music across Brasil and bring the absolute highlights of our community to Europe, stretching from Baile Funk to other genres that define our queer culture. Since 2023, we have been bringing this energy straight to Germany. We are a party made by queer people, for everyone who is open to dancing, connecting, and celebrating. The core of VRAU is loud bass, twerking, and expressing the joy of Brazilian music through movement. On our dance floor, the only things that matter are how hard you can shake that ass and how kind you are to others—bringing the exact vibe and freedom of queer parties in Brasil. The floor was created years ago by @hi.o.wav with a core mission: to build an open, safe space for queer immigrants to express themselves freely in Berlin. What to expect? At BIXARIA, we don’t assume anyone’s gender, and we’re not concerned with how people look. This is a space for experimentation — on your own terms, in whatever way you need. We have a door policy and a Gender Awareness Team led by Mother Lucía: a gender coach and floor manager who’s always present to support, guide, and look after the well-being of our community throughout the night. Our space centres immigrant, BIPOC and experimental communities — the ones we are part of ourselves. But everyone who comes to support the vibe is welcome. BIXARIA is organised by La Cigra$$ninha, an artist with community-driven projects across multiple countries.
