Nem todo que reluz é ouro
Nem todo que balança cai
Nem todo que reluz é ouro
Nem todo que balança cai
Cai, cai, cai, cai
Capoeira balança mas não cai
Cai, cai, cai, cai
ccapoeira balança mas não cai

Sounds like an awesome time. All this capoeira talk makes me miss the roda something fierce.

And Orixas are not to be called lightly. :)

Indeed! Actually, I didn't realize until I ran searches for links for this entry that Orixas are also the central spiritual figures in Santería. It makes perfect sense, of course, since Santería and Candomblé both have Yoruba roots -- I just never made the mental leap.

We're having a roda at 6pm on Wednesday, Harmony School. First class is free. ;)

I'd love to study Portuguese, and have been learning it a bit from the songs and things. I could definitely study it here formally, but my scheduling really wouldn't allow it in the near future, unfortunately.
