Wednesday singing! + lyrics + this Saturday cancelled but....

Oi Angoleir@s!

As you may have noticed in the different music cds, you probably agree that angoleir@s are not famous for their fine-tuning while singing, yet they manage to emanate an amazing energy... This Wednesday we gonna try to conciliate both by learning a bit how to control the singing, enjoy it more and project even more energy!

To help with that, we are giving some CDs so you can get used to the songs. I do not have time to write them down and translate them all. Please take some time to help filling the document. (thanks to those who have already). The idea is to have the songs, meanings, and translations in one document.

Unfortunately this Saturday we were supposed to train in Darwin but there has been an administrative issue, and the room was booked b4 us. The good news are the following: instead of Capoeira there is a Pukulan Pecutan workshop to raise money for a charity (http://www.merlin.org.uk/). (For more information, please send an email to Lee Wilson.)  I've seen some and it is quite hardcore in terms of the power and aggressivity of the hits -there are no ambiguities as in Capoeira ;) . But they hit only from extremely close (not like "normal" straight karate punches), so they need to play very close as in the Jogo de Dentro in Capoeira, and it will be interesting to see how they break in the "Corpo Fechado". They have some floor moves similar to negativas and tesouras but they use them instead to break legs... sounds nasty but it is straight forward and would be good to learn.... anyway since  you already know the move, you might as well use it in this way if required. As Bimba said: "Only boulders face the tempest"... but "If the guys runs after you, then he is being abusive. Stop unexpectedly and stick the "ferro" in his belly". That is Capoeira as well.... However if somebody knows about another place to train on Saturday (big living room, gym, college rooms,etc I will be happy to hear about it.

Ate pronto
