HI! I just wanted to share this , because I'm a sharing caring type of gal. I like the style of these guys, because it's a great groove, the dancer is funky, and the band plays well while they perform simple dance steps. Each section responds to the others in their calls, especially the repi, caixa and surdo.
Paul here's some Timba action for you, and Katherine too, if you're still blogging on every so often. Haven't heard from Donna in awhile either! Remko, you may reserve some disdain for it all being so choreographed, but it certainly 'aint sloppy, that's fur sure!!

I tend to appreciate the junglesque undertones of the dancer's outfit (despise the band's lack of costume-wise imagination however), but that's the feral in me. I kind of imagined our band with an eclectic, street-jungle mash-up sort of outfit, but with some definitive glam to satisfy Remko's Sgt. Pepper/Disco Stu/Dragqueen/Gary Glitter leanings. ha ha

I wonder if we need tambourim player s at all ? The repinique with two plastic rods give you enough high frequencies & fast enough to keep up with the fast tempo ..... I don't think I need to practice the tambourim .
Erin, " a la " Liberace style would add some glamour to the school.
I will put away my lederhosen and get out my powdered wig then...
I do love a great tamborim fanfare/machine gun paced spray towards the ceiling though, if you know what I mean.
wouldn't you know it, they're from bloody Rotterdam! No wonder they share Remko's love of glam.
break out the wig, Erin!
