Thursdays on the Terrace:
Brazilian Music by Escola de Samba & Capoeira
performance by Grupo Capoeira
Thursday,
January 22, John Lindsay Morehead II Lounge, Graham
Memorial, 12-2:00 p.m.
Our popular performance series begins its Spring 2004
schedule with the music of Escola de Samba, directed
by Eduardo De Souza and a Capoeira performance by Grupo
Capoeira, directed by Contra-Mestre Caxia.
Eduardo De Souza performed as a professional dancer
in the Miami area for ten years, before moving to the
Triangle in 1999. As the director of Escola de Samba
Carolina, Eduardo teaches Samba Batucada, Samba de Roda
, Pagode and Forro styles of percussion, as well as
Rio-style samba dance.
Contra-Mestre Caxia has been playing capoeira for over
twenty years. As a youngster, he played capoeira in
the streets of Rio de Janeiro even before beginning
an eight-year period of formal training with Mestre
Bodinho. He then began training with Mestre Boneco of
Grupo Capoeira Brasil. In June 1994, Contra-Mestre Caxias
moved to New York where he started that city's first
Capoeira Brasil group. In just a few years, his original
classes of three have expanded to nearly one hundred
students.

Thursdays on the Terrace:
The Europa Jazz Quartet
Thursday,
February 19, John Lindsay Morehead II Lounge, Graham Memorial,
12-2:00 p.m.
Formed in the Spring of 2003, the Europa Jazz Quartet
plays swing jazz in the tradition of Django Reinhardt
and Stephane Grapelli, and their famous "Quintet
of the Hot Club of France." The sound is evocative
of the 1930's swing era with the feeling of jazz clubs,
and the energy of jazz influence by European gypsy music.
The sound is unique partly because the instrumentation
is all string instruments. The music varies from slow
romantic ballads to fast, hot swing and includes traditional
jazz standards as well as the classic Reinhardt and Grapelli
originals of the 1930s. The musicians in the Europa Quartet
are: Paul Gruen, guitar; Gabe Pelli, violin; Wells Gordon,
upright bass; Bryan Gibson, guitar.
