At midnight, the carnival party organised by the Brazilians held at the Fort Canning Centre Gallery on Friday 20 February got into full swing.

Our friends, Silvio and his team presented a capoeira and maculêlê performance, with a little help from his fellow capoeiristas from Bantus, namely Claudinho and Rafael in the angola roda and Tempeiro on berimbau, to get the crowd warmed up.

After that, our sambistas, together with two other Brasileiras, samba-ed their way into the crowd to the rousing samba batucada beats of Bantus Batucada!

Which, by the way, is the name of our samba batucada band and samba troupe.

We want to thank Rafael for coming all the way down from KL to help us make the night a memorable one. Returning the favour, Claudinho and Barracuda trooped up to KL the following weekend for our sister school’s carnival party gig.

Thanks a bunch, Taturana, for these photos (which I’ve brazenly retouched for effect.)
