Entrance on Horniman Drive - From London Road near the Horniman Museum turn into Honor Oak Park, then left into Westwood Park then right into Horniman Drive. You can just turn up but if you know you are coming it would be helpful to let me know for planning purposes.

REMINDER
The next Workshop with the irrepressible Mestre Roberval will be on the evening of Wednesday July 8 2009. Time, venue, and date TBA. Payment in advance would be helpful if you are coming to Monday class. Again, if you know you are coming (or if you know you can't) it would be helpful to know. I look forward to seeing you then.

Welcome Blog!

This is the new blog for students from Pedreiro's capoeira group, to talk about anything related to the class, their lives and experiences.

Here is a picture I took on a trip to Namibia in Dec 2007, of a musician we met in the market, who played an instrument from the family of the berimbau .
