Capoeira Flashmob

We are planning a capoeira 'flashmob' in the most busy area of Cornwall on Easter weekend, April 3/4. I'm thinking Newquay...

The idea is to film it then use the footage as promotional tool on youtube, vimeo, flickr etc

If anyone has any ideas or contacts (filming, PR etc), get back to me asap.

PS of course we also need performers for this event.

Song lyric - e bisouro

Quando eu morrer me enterre na Lapinha
(when i die bury me in the Lapa [famous neighbourhood in Rio])
Calca culote palito amolfadinha
(with my special coulote trousers and my mouldy old suit)
Adeus Bahia zum zum zum cordao de ouro,
(goodbye Bahia, belt of gold [much-covetted prize in capoeira comps in 1960s Brazil)
eu vou partir porque martaram meu bisouro
(I'm gonna leave becuase they killed my Bisouro [a famous capoeirista...if you want o know more google him])

testing.... um dois tres

....I had the idea to start a blog a week ago after a marketing conference....so i thought i'd start here, with an free, external blog, before embedding one on jinga.org.uk...just in case it got a bit messy.

WHY BLOG? 'put yourself out there man'.

I wanted a neutral platform to communicate with all the stakeholders of Jinga Communities, somewhere quiet, well away from the 'noise' of facebook etc.

Everyone has an email, but not everyone wants to be bombarded with messages. this way you can chose to view it -or not - without having to sift thru a load of rubbish.

if you see a blog alert from 'jinga-communities.blog.blah' you know exactly who it is.

By the way, stakeholders are you: my students, parents of students, teachers, sports co-ordinators, business owners, funders, other interested members of the public...anyone with an interest in what we're doing at jinga.

...so let's suck it and see...that's often the only way.....and pls let me know if this works for you.

valeu, Canguru
