Looks of disbelief were
commonplace on the faces of those who attended the launch party
for London's new Paraiso School of Samba at Bar Lorca in Brixton.
We can only imagine that they were overwhelmed to be finally
witnessing the "real
thing" happening right here in London Town. The evening was
a huge success and will be talked about for a while yet.
Following an emotional introductory speech by our President Mestre
Esteves, the costumes were presented by Henrique and Ale.
 They
were impressive - colourful, well-made and depicting accurately
the imaginative designs of our Carnavalesco. Francesca showed us
the elegance of the Baiana dress, Maryann shone out in the Ala
Brazil costume, Jean teased us with his sexy moves in the Ala Xingu
costume and Howard looked noble in our bateria costume.
