Really cool, I'm looking forward to it Anne-Marie. The exhibit yesterday was
awesome, such visceral pieces. I don't know if the kids picked up on the same
feeling but I thought it was very intense.

and teaches kids, here is the link.

Thanks to everyone that came out to help with the festival!

Police estimated that there were 65,000 people in attendance.  This was great
exposure not only for capoeira but for Grupo Maculele!!
Pics and video to come!

This one is about Waldemar but I think its the one you are thinking of...

Ha Waldemar da Paixão
por que você foi-se embora?
Seu canto só deixa saudades
Até hoje meu berimbau chora.

Seu encanta um jogo,
Seu tocar faz um cabra bailar.
É a lenda da liberdade,
É o famoso Mestre Waldemar.

Coro

Se um dia olhar pro céu
E vê tudo escurecer,
É o canto da Waldemar
Que lá de cima louva por você.

Coro

Na arte de pintar foi doutor
Dando a vida ao berimbau,
Enriquecendo a nossa arte
Waldemar mestre fenomenal.

Coro

No seu jeito de jogar mansinho,
Barulho nunca de arrumar.
Se na roda tinham valentões,
Waldemar tinham que respeitar.

With Batizado coming up in March, we have a lot to do to get our
capoeira ready.

With the exception of this past week or so, everyone has been training
hard.  I'm very proud of everyone's progress.  I'll be talking with
each of the adults individually and Cuica will be talking with the
kids and parents as to where everyone stands as far as promotions go.
  Right away I can say that of those that are borderline between cords,
the difference will be mostly music.  I know with a lot of practice
over the next month and a half, we can bring you up!

See you at roda!

This Sunday we will have an open roda in front of Beef O Brady's in
the Hammocks at 3pm.  After roda, or during for friends and family, we
go inside and eat.  Beef O Brady's then donates to %15 of everything
spent there for that time.  So invite your family and invite your friends!

See you there!
