Wulaba Plays for Capoeira Batizado

Wulaba had the honor of playing for the students of North Country School tonight at the 4th annual Capoeira Batizado celebration. Several students from North Country received their "baptism" from the Mestrando Peninha, the Capoiera martial arts professor, originally from Brazil andwho now resides in Montreal. Johnna MacDougall led sixty students in African dance...the roots of the martial arts Capoeira, starting with movements in the feet and then growing the movements larger until they encompassed the entire body. James and Karen both received their next "cord" at the Batizado elevating them to a new level of practice in the art.
