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 - foi na Bahia que eu mandei...

Foi na Bahia que eu mandei fazer
Foi na Bahia que eu mandei preparar
meu patua meu pai, meu patua
meu patua para me proteger

It was in Bahia that I ordered to be made
.....................................................to prepare
my good luck charm, my father........
......................to protect me

song lyric - mundo enganador

Nao e dinhiero nao e ouro nem e prato
e um berimbau maneiro que eu ganhei do mau avo

it's not money, it's not gold, nor is it silver,
it's a wicked berimbau which i got from my grandad

song lyric - Foi na beria do mar

Foi na beira do mar
RPT
Aprendi a jogar capoeira da angola na beira do mar

t'was beside the sea so it was
i learnt how to play capoeira angola by the side of the sea

song lyric - e de io io

E de io io
e de ia ia
Capoeira da Angola jogada na beria do mar

capoeira Angola is played by the side of the sea

song lyric - Berimbau ta tocando

Berimbau ta tocando
vai ter jogo de angola,
vai ter jogo de dentro
vai ter jogo de fora

berimbau is playing,
you're gonna have a game of angola
you're gonna have a game of inside
you're gonna have a game of outside
