SAMBA BATUCADA DO RIO
Shoes are not required to take part in this electrifying
slice of Brazilian exuberance (which can also be seen on
the Paraiso Samba float at the Notting Hill Carnival). Not
to be confused with ballroom samba, Henrique da Silva's straight-out-of-Rio
brand of movement leads students though a full-on aerobic
warm-up before we are all made to form up in orderly lines
and weave what appear to be simple steps into sequences which
became more tricky while the pounding rhythms of the nine-piece
bateria (drum orchestra) grew relentlessly faster. Breathtaking,
in at least two senses. RM |
