Aruandê Capoeira Celebrates It's Birthday

Instructors from across Brazil got together last month to celebrate Aruandê Capoeira's 3rd anniversary. They've sent some pictures below of the roda. Among those present were Mestrandos Armadinho, Giltemberg, Bicudo and Zizo, Professors MaiTai, Bororo, Borracha, Sangue Bom, Pe de Chumbo, Nego da Água and Instrutor Modelo.
We've put together a weekend packed with various activites for our students, friends and families to enjoy! First, a special guest of ours, Monitor Maluco, will be flying from Seattle to share a few classes with our students and hold a class of his own, Friday night. Saturday, noon, we all plan to meet up at Gold's Gym for an open roda and then head out together to Schlitterbahn. If you're not familiar with Schlitterbahn Galveston, they have a roof and heated pools in case we get rained out. They also provide tubes and life jackets for free and allow you to bring your own cooler. We plan entrance at 3pm, April 24th, with 27 confirmed guests at least. Sunday afternoon we are holding our regular end of month roda at Discovery Green with Mestre Cafu and students. Below is our program.

Celebrate Women's Day by learning a new song about a famous woman: Maria Bonita, the wife of the infamous Lampião.
Coro:
Não não não A mulher não nasceu pra sofrer não não não Ela não devia morrer
-------------
Maior do que Deus ninguém valente foi Lampião quando a polícia chegou acabou com a fama de valentão Maria Bonita era rainha do sertão ela se tornou bandida porque tinha amor a Lampião
Coro
Aquilo que foi amor Aquilo que foi paixão Maria Bonita Morreu abraçada com Lampião
Coro
Lá não existia amor nem também tinha tenura Lampião fazendo sempre suas aventuras
Coro
Ele tinha centenas de mortes era o rei lá do sertão e ainda escondia a poder de oração
Coro
Eu que adoro as mulheres vou dar minha opinião Lampião devia pagar o que fez lá no sertão e Maria Bonita não devia pagar não

The following link contains the meaning of each of the colors in the new system, thereby facilitating the identification of each one of the colors.
