Important Update

Hey everyone, here’s the update I’ve been meaning to write for while. We’ve been super busy in October and November, and I’ve been running around like mad trying to promote Bantus as much as possible.

In September we got back from Brazil and then had the Mishop World Festival, events in October included the Mitaka Sports Festival, Nudist Beach (2), and the Casty live internet TV appearance. Our shows this month include the Soshigaya Art Festival, Bem Brasil 12, B’day Beats, the First Nijino Kai, and the Musashino FM Cultural Festival. And don’t forget our 2nd Anniversary and Bonenkai Party.
I was also lucky enough to appear in the Metropolis Magazine on November 10th, and play berimbau on their podcast.
Speaking of media appearances, we recently received in the post a DVD and a video cassette from our Singapore and Japanese TV crew shoots back in July and August, the clips will be on this blog shortly. The stories turned out really well, and we were so happy with the results!
Finally, this blog got a total make-over and is now running just the way I hoped.

Metropolis Magazine Q&A + Metpod

Published by Cacapa on Thursday, 9th November 2006 in Caçapa's Diary, Downloads and General, and 3 Comments,

The Metropolis Magazine

If you’re in Tokyo this week, make sure you get yourself a copy of the Metropolis Magazine, Japan’s No.1 English Magazine. Because when you turn to page five you’ll see Bantus Capoeira Japão’s very own instructor, Caçapa. The interview in the weekly feature “faces & places” q&a section was conducted via email with Connor Shepherd and the magazine’s editor. Of course due to space contraints the interview had to be cut somewhat but the full interview can be seen at the bottom of this post.

On Tuesday November 7th I did a live interview for a podcast to go along with the written interview in the Metropolis Magazine, issue #659, November 10th, 2006. The interview starts at 43min:25sec.

Thanks to Kamasami Kong, Suzy Newsy, and Jordon Cheung from the Metropolis Magazine “metpod” podcast.
