Querido mestre
Sua liçença me dá pra poder falar do grupo pra poder me expressar
É aqui no Bantus que eu gosto de treinar
Tenho aqui bons companheiros
Energia pra sobrar

Eu sou Bantus Capoeira
Subindo o morro descendo a ladeira
Eu sou Bantus Capoeira
Eu jogo bonito e na brincadeira
Eu sou Bantus Capoeira
Martelo cruzado, chibata e rasteira

É brasileiro capoeira de valor
Deu a vida à essa arte
O seu nome é Pintor
Eu sou Bantus Capoeira
Subindo o morro descendo a ladeira
Eu sou Bantus Capoeira
Eu jogo bonito e na brincadeira
Eu sou Bantus Capoeira
Martelo cruzado, chibata e rasteira

Original Music and Lyrics by Leandro Couri (Titio) 1998

Alternate Version:

Querido mestre sua licença me dá
Pra pode falar do grupo
Pra pode me expressar
E aqui dentro que eu gosto de treina
Tenho aqui bons companheiros energia pra jogar

Eu sou Bantus Capoeira
Subindo o morro descendo a ladeira
Eu sou Bantus Capoeira
E Bantus Capoeira Bantus Capoeira
Eu sou Bantus Capoeira
Subindo o morro descendo a ladeira

Today I received a special email from Mestre Pintor, it reads like this:

Mensagem a todos alunos e ao povo Japonês

Hoje, dia 18/06/2008, quarta-feira, completa 100 anos da imigração japonesa no Brasil, e agradecemos muito aos pioneiros por trazerem ao Brasil um pouco do Japão e podermos conhecer melhor o quanto é importante a participação do japonês no Brasil. Obrigado por vocês viverem junto conosco aqui, e que sejam sempre “bem vindos”. Nós gostamos muito de vocês!!!

Today, 18/06/2008, Wednesday, marks 100 years of Japanese immigration in Brazil, and we are thankful to the pioneers for bringing to Brazil a little bit of Japan and to be able to know better how important the participation of the Japanese in Brazil is. We are thankful that we can live here together, and that you are always welcome in Brazil. We love you guys!

バントゥス夏カポエイラ・キャンプ 2008

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!

ドリンク: カシャッサ
