Wednesday was a holiday celebrating a dentist who led battles against the Portuguese in colonial Brazil, and we had a wonderful day.
We, Raheemah and I, along with a couple other volunteers, one of my students, Taise, her husband Z, their whole family and most of their neighborhood traveled to a tiny town called Caiçara. We went an army of bicycles, one car with many children inside and the Raheemah moto sandwich you see here.
Here is an area infront of Z´s family home. His sister Rosana is also one of my students.

Z gave the town a lession in making flutes out of PVC.

After lunch we listened to Z´s father and uncle play and sing a regional style of story songs. Between verses you are suppored to clap and play percussion, then only the guitar plays during the verse. The guitar was double strug so it was harmonic. Amazing! It sounded a little like a steal guitar.
