More pre-Carnaval tidbits
Members of the wonderful Lions of Batucada taped a short segment in the KINK.FM Live Performance Lounge today which was videotaped and will be posted on the KINK website sometime Wednesday. In addition, portions of the audio will be broadcast on the KINK morning show on Friday. Though only about 35% of the drummers were present, they shook the building and attracted a large number of the radio station's employees with their contagious Carnaval rhythms. All were impressed by the group's precision, the tight, punchy breaks and their obvious enthusiasm and energy.
Get ready for an amazing show on Saturday at the Crystal. These Lions are out for blood and I promise you won't be able to sit still once they start roaring!!! More powerful than a locomotive!
Don't forget the Lions will also be on KOIN-TV's morning show this Friday with three live segments running from 5-7am. Hats off to those players and dancers who will be getting up early to make this gig!

I'm only commenting because I want this to be a really great event for next year. It has the potential to be something really awesome. I was a little disappointed with the event after attending last night. The first couple hours were really fun, but then the music became a little bit redundant. Having only two bands might have been the problem. Also, my personal taste is yearning for a little blending of cultures. Maybe have a couple bands that add a little American flare to their style... I love being exposed to new cultures but 5 hours was a bit much for just two styles of music. Also there could have been more activities, like more involvement of the crowd.. Maybe get some of the local ladies up on stage and teach them the moves... What about a costume contest? If you weren't really drunk or looking to score, I thought the event became a bit mundane.
If there were some changes to make it more interesting I'd love to attend next year!
