Location: Canta Garo (Cultural Centre in the middle of a steep steep steep favela)
Today we got a good sleep in, tho Rock and Nicola decided to go for a jog and a coconut milk breakfast, good on ye kids. We dreamt of jogging and the like, was great.
Word in the BTC camp is that various members have been sleeping conversing with eachother, and rumours of one BTC member taking it to another level by actually singing in a choir style. Some just curse and raise defiant fists in the air. Could this be the Afro Reggae symbology creeping in? but where does the choir singer come from? haha
The venue is great, a beautiful view over the whole of rio copacabana coast, and a lake to the east, various large scary birds, hover in the distance, condors? eagles, or Archaeopteryx, who knows, but they are mahoooosive.
The 2 brothers mountain range looks over everyone and seems to protect everything, hopefully including the children who greet us with us a dance, circus and gymnastic display Everyone here seems to love to perform and the talent is high.
After we warm up, clean the sweat pools and rehearse with AR. HARDCORE!
Food Oclock, food is so nice here, generous proportions, chicken, beans, salad and a lovely tropical fruit drink, soul food for the hard working dancers and drummers. After people look like they could curl up and sleep, but no rest for the wicked, back to the rehearsal and solider on.
