Boa Viagem! - Women - Saturdays YEAH!!!! 1-3pm - louvaçãos

Hi all,

Boa viagem (bon voyage!)  to all that go away for holidays. Thanks for today's session, it was nice to have such a big Bateria!

It was cool to carry on the discussion about gender equality as well. It would be cool if some of you did a few "parana" lines to state your own thoughts.

From now on we can train on Saturdays at Darwin from 1 to 3pm YEAH!. It will not be a "formatted" session. I will bring the instruments and be around practising some movements. I can help you with whatever you need (music or moves). It sounds weird but it is when you play alone that you learn the most, and of course we'll play some games together :-). Come and experience the freedom of moves! Not all Saturdays are available. Check the calendar first AND drop me an email to confirm or call me...Just to make sure somebody is there with the stereo and some instruments... 

Some louvaçãos to get inspired (I've separated the ones that go together)
Iê, viva meu mestre -Live my master
Iê, quem me ensinou - that taught me
Iê, a malandragem - the Malandragem
Iê, da Capoeira - of Capoeira

Iê, hora é hora (time is time, meaning the time has come)

Iê, galo cantou - cock sang
Iê, cocorocô - cocoriddledoo 

Iê, joga prá lá - play towards there
Iê, joga prá cá - play towards here

Iê, vamos embora - let's go
Iê, pelo mundo afora - to the outside world

Iê, é mandingueiro - (he) is a mandingueiro
Iê, é cabeceiro - (he) is a cabeceiro 

Iê, menino é bom - (the) kid from the street is good
Iê, sabe jogar - (he) knows (how) to play


Ate pronto!
