HURRAY for comunity projects!

So most of Brazil is really poor, and many Paulistas (people from Sao Paulo)commute to the center of the city because most work there. So due to they daily migration into the city many kids go to school on either their way to work or from. Oh, people here start working at the age of 12ish. Due to schools being funded by the government they are really run down. So in one school people started a project with what they knew best! SAMBA!!!




This Project is a sort of therapy for the community. People of all classes attend this magic. It doesn't matter if you live in the favela or in Vila Magdalena it is for all types of people.




If you are visiting Sao Paulo and really wanna know how Paulistas get down, go there.
The name of the project is MARACATU. The mixture of African dance with a twist of Brazilianess and the beating of every drum is something that moves your soul or perhaps something deeper.




Every Saturday there is a must. The energy and joy that is felt is not justified by my horrible camera.
ENJOY.
