Carnaval is only a week away!
Well, a week plus one day! The buzz around the city is becoming palpable, lots of forums are heating up with discussions about costumes, pre-Carnaval gatherings and so on. The tradition in Portland is getting off to a nice start.Some items of interest: the Lions of Batucada will be recording a short segment at KINK.FM as part of their Live Music Lounge series...it will be videotaped for the KINK website, and a part will be broadcast on KINK sometime Thursday morning. In addition, some brave members of the Lions will get up early on Friday the 27th for several early morning appearances on the KOIN morning news program...broadcast live from somewhere in the Crystal Ballroom...hats off to those drummers and dancers who will take the plunge...coffee will be provided by Nossa Familia coffee, a Portland-based roaster of family-fazenda-grown coffee, and one of our sponsors.
