This is your warning to book a foot massage. You’ll need it after all the jumping, grinding, and footwork you’re about to let loose when the Rose Max Samba Party comes to life in the backstage Gleason Room at the Fillmore Miami Beach (1700 Washington Ave., Miami Beach). It’s a lot cheaper than flying to Brazil, but the sweat on your brow and the smile on your face won’t be able to tell the difference. For years, Max and her merry band of musicians have brought authentic samba rhythms and melodies to the South Florida scene. If there’s a celebration of Brazilian life or culture, Max and her men are there. The evening at the Gleason Room is sure to be an intimate and electrifying affair as good for the soul as it will be for the body and mind. Let the music control your body and take you to far-off places...
