Finale this Sunday 2nd Nov 2009, Gt Yarmouth Uk 12noon - 10pm
Jose Ferrera Mulen, Moleque de Rua Samba, Plus more
Jose and his Band Guateque
5.25pm Guateque – possibly the most brilliant Cuban country music you’ll ever hear. Guaranteed to get feet dancing and hands clapping.
6.35pm Capoeira – described as a Brazilian martial art or dance, this art form doesn’t really fit in either category. Capoeira is simply poetry in motion.
7.25pm Anna Mudeka - traditional and original modern Zimbabwean music and dance
8.45pm Moleque de Rua – samba as you’ve never heard it before! Several generations of Sao Paulo street kids make their innovative instruments from recycled material and concoct excitingly original sounds mixing samba and other traditional Brazilian rhythms with rock, funk and hip hop. In their dynamic stage show they not only decry the poverty, corruption and violence rife in Brazil but also exuberantly celebrate the force of their own life-saving culture.
