Hi Guys,

I know many of you will start arriving for Mundial this weekend and early next
week.
Please consider, if you are in town on Monday coming to our kids class down in
Homestead.
Even though we've been talking about Mundial for months being down in
Homestead the kids miss out on the excitement in the greater Miami area. Many of
you are sponsoring them for mundial and have also sponsored them for our holiday
party in the past.
We talk to them about all of our academies around the world that are part of the
Maculele family... we want to expose them to that world as much as possible. The
more positive role models we can bring into their lives the better. Come meet
them!
Class is from 5 to 6 PM on Monday. Mestre Azulao will probably be there as well.
If you're a local you should come too! We don't see you guys in Homestead nearly
enough.
My number is 850 339 4883

Thanks!!!

Axe'
Valentona

I know Mestre Azulao has been singing some new songs at roda and is teaching us
in class so here are the lyrics



Estrela que brilha no céu da Bahia
que brilha no céu da Bahia, me guia
Estrela

Estrela que brilha no céu da Bahia
que brilha no céu da Bahia, me guia

A noite na Bahia
brilha cada vez mais
no chão daquela terra
Seu Bimba descansa em paz
Estrela

Apontando para a estrela
no leito abandonado
Mestre Pastinha disse
eu vou brilhar do teu lado
Estrela

O seu clarear tão forte
clareava o terreiro
onde Seu Waldemar
tocava Gunga voizeiro
Estrela

Estrela que iluminava
fazenda do senhor
ilumina o caminho
me leva a Salvador
Estrela

Eu vou pela barra fora
na volta que o mundo dá
estrela que me conduz
brilha no céu de lá
Estrela


VENTO QUE BALANCA A CANA NO CANAVIAL


Vento que balanca a cana no canavial
Vento que balanca a cana no canavial

Refrao:

Na varanda da casa-grande
Coronel descansava na rede
Escravo no canavial
Morria de fome e de sede

Refrao:

Na capela da fazenda
Sinhá ia confessar
Coberta com manto de renda
Ajoelhada no altar

Refrao:

Sinhorinho no terreiro
Maltratava o ere
A mucama na cozinha
Lamentava por nada fazer

Refrao:

Capataz atordoado
Acordando em desespero
Uma família dos escravos
Havia fugido do cativeiro

Prof. Versatil

Mestre Fran will be here Wednesday to teach the kids class and the Adults
classes!  I don't have to tell you how great he is.  As of now, there isn't even
a charge either!!! Come early! Stay late!!

Make sure your Abadas are white and your Axe' is high!!

We are starting our Portuguese classes back up again!
Registration Starts now!
Classes run from May 4th to May 30th
Now with two schedules to choose from
1) Mon/Wed 9pm-10pm  Friday 7pm-8pm Bate Papo
or
2) Tues/Thur 9pm-10pm  Friday 7pm-8pm Bate Papo

This class will focus on the verbal basics of Brazilian Portuguese.  This month
long course is for those serious about learning Portuguese.  This is very
important to us and our art.  Its also a requirement to become a graduado with
me.  So much of the history and knowledge of capoeira is known by Mestres who
only speak Portuguese.  It also will help with knowing what you are singning at
roda :)
The goal is for every student at the end of one month be able to speak only in
Portuguese for 1 hour.

Course fee is just $25.00

Come see me today to sign up!

Axe'!

This is a win win win program
The school wins
New students win
And YOU win!

Here is the new program:
Every Wednesday (or Thursday/friday if you dont make it in) grab a pack of 100
flyers I have ready for you.  And just pass them out.  Its pretty easy to do,
especially when you see how small a stack of 100 is. Just make sure you write
down where you passed them out. If you can't manage to pass out 100 just bring
back what you didn't get out and we will refresh your stack for the next week.
No big deal!

Here is the good part for you.  I am extending the $50 referral bonus to this
program.  So when I ask a new student how they heard about us, if they say they
got a flyer, and its from one of your places, you get 50 bucks on the spot!

The school wins with more students which will help with upgrading our academy
among other things
The new students win because they get capoeira
and YOU win with $50

See me today for more details!

Don't miss roda this week! it will be a fun one!

Really cool, I'm looking forward to it Anne-Marie. The exhibit yesterday was

feeling but I thought it was very intense.
