Afoxé Loni is a Brazilian-German musical group from Berlin under the direction of Dudu Tucci (music) and Murah Soares (dance).
Afoxé Loni was founded in 1996 and takes part since then at the Karneval der Kulturen in Berlin, leading the parade. Up to one hundred Percussionists, just as many dancers and some singers are playing traditional Brazilian Music, especially Afoxê, and compositions of Dudu Tucci. The white-golden costumes of the Bloco are characteristic.
A smaller group is playing concerts all over the year. On stage the band plays the music of the Candomblé, too. Afoxé Loni was invited to festivals to Førde, London, Milan, Dublin, Manchester and Drogheda in Ireland.
