What a huge transformation the 2007 camp was compared to our first capoeira camp back in 2005 when we had only a few capoeiristas.

This time we really did it in style. Onsen, big screen TV, green pyjamas, BBQ, kitchen, taikukan, everything! Thanks to mico for finding Spadio, what a great place.
Everyone really worked well as a team… actually, Bantus is much more than that, we’re a family!
Thanks to everyone who brought their instruments, especially Amizade who brought two atabaques, pandeiro, berimbaus, agogo, and even maculele sticks!!!
Thanks to everyone for coming.
すごくたのしかった！
