Sunday Star Times music writer Grant Smithies has been collecting rare and unusual dance records from around the world for over 20 years, and tonight he selects the absolute pearlers, just for you. Don�t come along expecting to hear familiar office party anthems or just one musical style. The Sitting Room is diverse and surprising - samba and bossa nova classics from Brazil, hi-life music from Nigeria, Puerto Rican boogaloo, dancehall reggae from Jamaica, calypso from Trinidad, plus a scorching selection of soul, funk, disco and house music. The Sitting Room has sold out for the last two years, so get your ticket early.
