A light show will be projected on The Christ tonight as part of the new year's celebrations in Rio. If you are in the city, watch out for it.

I wish you guys a happy new year! Thank you for reading Made In Brazil in 2009, and for all your comments and support throughout the year. I really appreciate it, and am already working on new projects for the blog for 2010. 

If you are in Brazil, have fun at all the parties and make sure to email me pictures!

José Camarano and Marcelo Argento's Buati was one of the most talked about new parties in Rio this year. The last edition of 2009 took place at Cabaret Kalesa on Tuesday night, and I hear it was crazy. Made In Brazil has ten more pictures after the jump.

Love the weather. Love the longboard. Love the lifeguards.
