• 1. You’re roda-addict. The week’s not complete if it didn’t include a roda.
• 2. You’ve done an au in your office/school/at home.
• 3. When you’re bored or stuck in traffic, you start playing the atabaque rhythms on any available surface.
• 4. You’ve done the air berimbau and stopped doing it when you realized how obscene it looked.
• 5. You know who Topogigio, Faustao and Nhonho are, and you’ve actually googled for their pics.
• 6. You check the Bantus website once a day.
• 7. You’ve mei-luaed public property. E.g. Fire hydrant, rubbish bin, traffic cones etc.
• 8. You clap and sing along whenever you hear music.
• 9. You are ‘protect-your-face’ all the time.
• 10. You sing in portuguese when you shower even if you don’t understand what the heck you’re singing.
