Red Hot + Rio 2 is the natural successor to the 1996 original Bossa Nova inspired Red Hot + Rio, which Vogue called

tribute.So, write a reminder in your calendar, join us on Facebook, and follow us on Twitter….As with all Red Hot
projects, proceeds from Rio 2 will benefit HIV/AIDS related charities. The first Red Hot + Rio raised over $1 million
