Coming up!
June absolute beginners is right around the corner, and there is still space.
Also, May 26, a roda and capoeira a-thon we BAM’s Dance Africa street fair and festival. 3-5 pm, exact location tbd.
Some beautiful games, and some very clear singing if you want to practice some songs. More from Jono; also, check out the pants — a lot of different schools from around Santa Cruz turn out for Mestre Papiba’s batizado.
Jono has posted a bunch of great videos of the Santa Cruz batizado.
Eu só Vou Embora Se a Roda Acabar
I almost busted out with this in Santa Cruz during a pause in the singing Friday night, but I wasn’t sure I could get past the first verse. I can’t even find lyrics past the first verse tho. Anyone know the rest of the lyrics?
Eu só vou embora quando a roda acabar
Eu só vou embora quando a roda acabar
Mas se a roda não acabar
Eu vou eu vou ficar (côro)
Rodathon! Fire on the Water!
Two slightly awesome events in the works at Capoeira Brooklyn: May 26, a roda-a-thon at Brooklyn Academy of Music and June 27 we’re performing at Fire on the Water.
Fun ways to participate include sponsoring me in the rodathon or buying a ticket to come on the cruise.
Pass it on, and … who’s in?
Capoeira em São Tomé e Príncipe - Africa (Rabodearraia)
Don’t speak Portuguese yet? Classes start in March!
Roughly, Raizes do Brasil is teaching capoeira in São Tomé and Príncipe.
