Keeping up with the Batucada Belles
Entry for June 21, 2007
Gig season ended with Cambridge River Festival.....It was fun and hard to play ..for 3 hours!
We did get a lot of attention. I put an empty drum in the middle of the street where we were playing ...Interestingly, a yound boy and an older man were the only 2 who played the drums.
The only women who played were part of the women's center.
Toward the end we all started switching instruments...that was fun. We havent jammed in a while..this was the closest we came ..i tried out a new part for the Bell in Katrines Baiaio. We had the place rockin.

I am realy happy with the fact that I learned to whistle in the songs and now I know both the snare and surdo parts....I plan on learning the bell next..
