Please welcome the Afro Brazil Arts, featuring Mestre Ombrinho, to Cornell's campus for a unique and authentic weekend with many talented practitioners. The weekend will be packed with live music, acrobatics, culture, capoeira, dance and drums! We will also be holding "rodas" during the weekend, which are the performative circles in which capoeira is practiced and improvised as a game. Come dance and sing with us.
