Monday + next saturday in London?

Dear Angoleir@s,

As usual, this monday at 19h30, Darwin common room. Please be punctual... ;-P

As a reminder of the samba rythms we started with the pandeiro, here is the basic rythm: (try to repeat it in your head even if you don't have a pandeiro to practice, you cannot play what you cannot sing anyway....)

tum (thumb) chi chi chi 

variations 

tum (thumb) chi chi tum (middle finger)

tum (thumb) chi chi pa (slap)

And now you can combine this for example into Samba Exaltação:

tum chi chi pa tum chi chi tum 

Regarding next Saturday, there is an interesting possibility to do a lot of Capoeira Angola with 2 good mestres: Carlão and Boca do Rio and hopefully roda at the end.. It will be from 12h45 till 5 near Chalk Farm in London. I will go and I think I can get reductions, especially if there is some of us. It will be fun! There will most probably be people from different groups (Kabula, FICA, Amazonas,  etc...) We could leave around 10am and be back by 7pm.

For more info check kabula.org.

See Carlão here, and Boca do Rio here and here (actually Figura comes often to Kabula Rodas...)

Kabula, the group hosting the class, is very open, so it is a great opportunity to get in touch with the Capoeira Angola scene in London.
