Once again the Akwaaba parties are back to give a tropical injection to Auckland's superb summertime spot - The Britomart Country Club this time round with an extra helping of Latin American vibes in the form of the 'Fiesta De Casa' - a sizzling slice of Mexican house party.

Direct from Mexico City comes one of Mexico's fastest rising stars - Andrea Balency performing live, joining her will be The Ruby Suns, Nick D & a host of African musical cohorts for the Yewala Soundsystem, MayaVanya with MC Silva and DJ Aroha.

There aren't many parties like this one, and with exotic foods to feed the belly and colourful cocktails ahoy it's basically a round the world air ticket without the jetlag and having to take your shoes off in security checks. akwaaaaaaaba !
