Kenny Bee
With performances by legendary band Chic featuring Nile Rodgers, Hong Kong star Kenny Bee and Brazilian Carnival samba performers Beija-Flor, the Venetian Carnival Samba Party and Copacabana Charity Ball will surely be the unmissable event of the year in Macau!
This first ever Venetian Carnival 2011 is a unique 3-day event taking place from May 27 to 29 in Macao and celebrating the greatest street party on the planet and promises to be Macao’s biggest, glitziest, wildest, fun-packed, international carnival. General admission is free for the public but paid admission is required for The Samba Party and the Copacabana Charity Ball.
The Carnival weekend kicks off at the lagoon at 6pm, on Friday, May 27 followed by The Samba Party at 9pm till late at the Venetian poolside -- a high-energy bash that celebrates the spirit of Carnival from all points of the compass. Beija-Flor’s lissome dancers and talented musicians will generate the heat and passion of samba at this ticketed dance party, while a world famous DJ and performers will rock the block.
Looks like Cher but is not!
This will be followed on Saturday May 28 from 6.30pm to 1am with a Venetian-style Copacabana Charity Ball themed around Caribbean favorites with a sit-down dinner and dance where Chic featuring Nile Rodgers along with Kenny Bee and Beija-Flor will all perform live.

And throughout the Carnival weekend the party and parades keep right on going from 6pm to midnight on Friday, May 27, from 2pm to midnight on Saturday, May 28 and from 2pm to 8pm on Sunday, May 29 – to the incessant beat of drums and the undulating rhythms of the samba – with food and drink flowing.
Nile Rodgers
Nile Rodgers is an American musician, composer and guitarist, and is considered one of the most influential producers in the history of popular music, having produced (and played guitar on) albums such as Madonna’s “Like A Virgin”, David Bowie’s “Let’s Dance”, Diana Ross’s “Diana”, Duran Duran’s “Notorious”, INXS’s “Original Sin” as well as albums by Mick Jagger, Eric Clapton, the B 52’s, Earth Wind and Fire and Peter Gabriel. His band Chic is famous for the triple-platinum disco anthem “Le Freak” and as a composer he wrote hits like “We Are Family.” His first band “the Big Apple Band” opened for the Jackson Five in 1973 on its first world tour and he has been a dominant force in music ever since.
Chung Chun-To, better known as Kenny Bee, is a Hong Kong singer, musician and actor. He is well-known as a member of the Hong Kong English pop and cantopop band the Wynners, and as a solo artist who has been active in the Hong Kong entertainment industry for nearly three decades.
Beija-Flor – ‘humming bird’ in Portuguese – is the top rated samba school from Rio de Janeiro and was recently crowned world champions in the samba competition of the Rio Carnival. With this dance force at the top of its game, carnival-goers can expect nothing short of unrivalled hedonistic fun.
“Both the Samba Party and Copacabana Charity Ball will certainly be nights to remember and we are thrilled to have international stars to be our performing guests along with the other thrilling entertainment programs over the weekend. All funds raised from the Copacabana dinner and various activities throughout the Carnival will be matched by Sands China Ltd and will go to support The Welfare Fund for Poverty and Singly Parent Member of Women’s General Association of Macau,” said President and Chief Operating Officer of Sands China Ltd. Mr. Edward Tracy.
So, come party, dance, eat, drink and socialize while supporting the community in Macao’s biggest bash ever.
