Power

Awake at 7am, or 8am for some.

To the beach, ghetto workout, then a swim.

8am, Balen and P, decide dance with death, as they decide to prank wake up Raw-B.

RED HULK ASLEEP
2 BOYS ATTACK
RED HULK CONFUSED??
RED HULK MAD!!
2 BOYS RUN FOR DEAR LIFE, LAUGHIN
RED HULK SMASH!!!!!!

Driving from Rio to Favela is fun, our driver seems to like playing with the traffic, I am sure its fine though, Nicola and others may need new underwear. haha
Seatbelt very super friend today

The roadsides are covered in graffiti, the pieces and throwups are fresh, real interesting styles and funky lettering.

Arrive at Vigaro Geral (spelling?) greeted by the sounds of Afro Lata, thundering beats and dancing.

All around us is beautiful ugly, beautiful decay, rebuilding and tapped power!

Afro Reggae seemed to have tapped into this power.

A powerful fist proudly punches the air of the complexo, standing for, pride, community, music and art. This is the diamond in the rough, Afro Reggaes new art centre.

Have a tour of the building which will be soon be open, then off to 'Lil Dummies' cafe.

A short happy local legend that is Lil Dummy serves us her finest local cuisine, black beans still reign supreme.

Straight from there into rehearsals, some of us have ate too much!

The sounds of the funky drummers get the feet moving.

Looking out over the favelas, inside looking out, always aware of whats outside looking in.

This is in the middle of

of this
