O Teatro Municipal Dr, Losso Neto em Piracicaba está localizado em um dos barracões do antigo Engenho Central que foi construído em 1881 pelo Barão de Resende com a finalidade de substituir a mão-de-obra escrava por trabalho assalariado e pela mecanização no sistema de produção de açúcar e alcool. A usina que operou até 1974 chegou a ser considerada a mais importante do Brasil no início do século 20. Após ser desativada, os prédios foram tombados como patrimônio histórico e foram transformados em local de cultura com o Teatro Municipal, palcos para apresentações musicais e culturais além de ser a sede do Salão Internacional de Humor de Piracicaba.

Here's your soundtrack. Okay, maybe they're not exactly brazillian but their music is awesome and their live shows legendary.Now, Brazil covers almost half of South America and its Amazon rainforest is the world's largest jungle... which is rapidly getting cut down. The country is basically one giant botanical garden with some bangin' cities on its edges.Brazil was colonized in 1808 by the royal court of Portugal, which was fleeing Napolean's troops. They didn't stay long, and Brazil won its independence in 1822.Its biggest city, Sao Paulo, is the financial hub of South America. Brazil is the "b" in BRIC -- Brazil, Russia, India and China. These four were labeled the world's fastest developing large economies in the year 2001.Brazil is known for three things: amazingly beautiful women, carnival, and Pele -- King of Football, Athlete of the Century, football ambassador of the world and a declared national treasure.Brazillians can tell foreigners a mile away, by the way their hips move. Samba is built into the soul of brazil and carnival is when it bursts out into twenty-four hour undying explosions of sound on every street.This picture of mask diving at the Taipus reefs makes me shed hot and salty tears all over my calendar, which is set on "January" right now.Text by Steve Smith.
