TODAY IS VALENTINE"S DAY






Amor é fogo que arde sem se ver
É ferida que dói e não se sente
É um contentamento descontente
É dor que desatina sem doer.
É um não querer mais que bem querer
É um andar solitário entre a gente
É nunca contentar-se de contente
É um cuidar que se ganha em se perder.
É querer estar preso por vontade
É servir a quem vence o vencedor
É ter com quem nos mata lealdade.
Mas como causar pode seu favor
Nos corações humanos amizade
Se tão contrário a si é o mesmo amor?
Luís de Camões

SLOW FOOD (BEANS)






The Feijoada is a typical revenue here, but it requires too much work and time to be nice. And, ingredients that are difficult to find out here.
On the day the beans (in the company of the rice) is the Brazilian player at the table. So there's a recipe (which I do in my house) you can vary, depending on the products they find there where you live! Good luck!!


First, the material, the ingredients:
500g beans/2 or 4 clove of garlic / 3 leaves of herb called louro (bay leaf)/100g smoked bacon or jerked meat/sausage/ olive oil.
And now, how i made?
Cook the beans with the bay leaves, until tender and reserve. Place bacon ens the sausage in a frying pan and fry the garlic in olive oil, only to release the smell of garlic. Place the bean mixture in the skillet and boil until you feel caught in the seasoned beans. The appearance should be a thick soup, but fluid, must have an appearance similar to the sugo sauce. If the gown is very fluid mix some baked beans and add the beans and let it cook slightly thickens.
*The beans can be served in a cup (if you want to hit everything but the bacon in the mix), on cold, with a little chopped chives. As a meal, just make a white rice , just braise with onion, serve with some green, preferably spring greens leaves, slices of orange.
If you may want act a part beautiful em a party Brazilian help yourselves Cachaça or beer at your guests.


ENJOY!

SOME BRAZILIAN MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS

reco-reco(hecoo-hecoo)
The reco-reco is another supporting instrument within the Capoeira percussion orchestra. It is a bamboo scraper that can play a more complicated rhythm to contrast with the agogo.








Atabaque (at-a-ba-key)
The atabaque is a wooden drum stretched with a goats skin. It also comes originally from Africa. Its rhythm provides the foundation for the music of the roda. In our style, the atatbqaue player improvises less than some of the other musicians, but their beat is like a heart-beat driving the music and the games forward.












Pandeiro (pan-day-roo)
The pandeiro is a tambourine with a skin. It is thought that this instrument originated in the Middle East and was brought first to Africa and then to Brasil.In our style of Capoeira we use two pandeiros playing complimentary rhythms. The musicians playing the pandeiro sit on either side of the berimbaus during the roda.






Berimbau (bee-rim-bow)
The Berimbau is a percussion instrument. It is a type of 'musical bow' and comes from Africa.To play the berimbau the arame (string) is stretched tight over the pau de berimbau (stick) you hold the cabaça (gourd) against your stomach and hit the string with the vareta (stick). Holding the pedra (stone) against the string creates different sounds and the caixixi (shaker) makes a complimentary sound. There are three Berimbaus in a traditional Capoeira orchestra. Each one plays a different complimentary rhythm. The type of the berimbau, and the note it plays depends on the size of the cabaça.
