Para bens to Grupo Bantus Capoeira Malaysia for organizing what was most definitely the biggest and best annual Brazilian cultural festival in Malaysia to date. We had a superb kids workshop and batizado, a week of capoeira, percussion, and makulele workshops, some very informative sports science and nutrition lectures, a fierce capoeira tournament, a very cool Brazilian themed art exhibition, a SLAMMIN party at Cloth n Clef in KL, and a feel good Batizado e Troca de Cordas ceremony in Pavilion.
Many many thanks goes out to the entire Bantus crew, our special guests Mestre Pintor, Graduado Claudinho, Instructor Grao, Instructor Cacapa, Contra Mestre Silvio do Berimbau, & Tissao, our hot n sexy sambistas Rodrigo, Fernanda, Barracuda and Lua, all the students from Singapore, Perth and Japan, and our new Bantus branches in Jakarta and Bangkok!
Cheers also to all our corporate and media sponsors namely Jaya One, Elabram Systems, Cloth n Clef, Pavilion, Malaysian Today, KLUE, NST, The Sun, Malibu, and Tiger for the great support.
