フェスタ・ジュニーナ

バントゥス夏カポエイラ・キャンプ 2008

Sexy!

フェスタ・ジュニーナとは、伝統的にはブラジル北部で冬の始めや雨季に祝われた収穫祭のことです。今では フォホのブームに乗って世界中で人気を集めています。フェスタ・ジュニーナの面白い点は、カントリー調の衣装をまとい、地方の食事、音楽、ダンスを楽しめるところです。

GBCJによるフェスタ・ジュニーナでは、男性はひげと一本つながり眉毛を顔に描き、チェックのシャツとオーバーオールか古びたジーンズとサスペンダー、そしてむぎわら帽子をかぶります。そして女性は、そばかすとすきっ歯を描き、ミツアミ、チェックもしくは花柄のカントリー調ドレスをまといます。

日程: 6月28(土曜)

時間: Till late

場所: ネオ オリエンタルリゾート八ヶ岳高原 山梨

衣服: フェスタ・ジュニーナの衣裳!

Capoeira Camp Update

Festa Junina!

日本語

Bantus Summer Capoeira Camp

Bonito e Bonita
The capoeira camp just keeps getting better and better! Not only will we have a special guest instructor and workshops, surprise capoeira movies, and countless unforgettable moments. We’ve got a Festa Junina party planned!

Festa Junina is a typical harvest festival originally celebrated in Northeasern Brazil at the beginning of winter or the rainy season, and now becoming popular around the world riding on the coattails of the current Forró boom. What makes Festa Junina so fun is everyone gets to dress up as country folk and enjoy typical country style food, music and dance.

So for GBC Japão, that means the men will be drawing moustaches and mono-brows on their faces, wearing checked shirts, overalls, old jeans and suspenders, and straw hats. Meanwhile the women will be drawing freckles on their faces and painted-gaps on their teeth, pigtails and wearing checked/floral country dresses.

Date: Saturday, June 28th, 2008

Time: Saturday night - till late

Location: Spadio, Yamanashi - our own “bangalo”

Clothes: Festa Junina costume!

Food and Drink: Brazilian Cachaça!

Festa Junina

Don’t forget your costumes!

PS. It’s not too late to let us know you’re coming. But hurry up!
