BRAZIL FIELD TRIP -

Mestre Eclilson and 25 students are in a field trip to Brazil. Many capoeira students from Capoeira Aché Brasil Recife showed up carrying welcome banners to receive them at the airport, including the National Television, TV Globo, which captured a huge Roda (from Canadian and Brazilian Capoeiristas) at the airport. There were interviews with Mestre and some Canadian students. They also appeared on Much Music in Brazil (MTV) performing with, Nacao Pernambuco. Other channels such as, TV Tribunal also captured the group. Our Canadian students returned to Canada and vowed to go back as soon as possible.
