After class yesterday, mestre Nino invited our academy (academy of Mestre Neilson) to his house for a party. Wow! Great party! Mestre has an absolutely lovely house, and the food was great too.
Mestre Nino is a very interesting man. Aside from being a capoeira mestre, Nino has a PhD. in Global Studies?.. I think that's the subject. He is a professor at the University of Jau I believe.
He's also an accomplished jazz and latin jazz drummer. He was cooking. I'm careful with my words, because I have family and friends who play excellent drums also, but he was awesome. He played a few sets for us, with a CD accompanyment... After which, the samba party ensued, with live drums. I brought my fast feet to the roda... Can't wait until Carnaval.
