Barbatuques Pizza Party - Sao Paulo, Brazil

About 25-30 of us from Saltimbanco were at a pizza party last night in Sao Paulo, Brazil. It was hosted by a "body percussion" ensemble called Barbatuques (BAR-ba-tooks) founded by Fernando Barba. They had planned a workshop for us the next day, and this party was a good way for us to meet and hang out.

We ate wood-fired pizza in the backyard cooked in their homemade igloo-shaped pizza oven. The sweet smell of grilled vegetables, meat and pizza filled the air. There was sugar cane growing in the back yard. Everyone was smiling, laughing, eating, drinking, and after a couple hours, a jam session took place in their cozy kitchen. It was a great evening!

We were all looking forward to the workshop our new friends were going to give us the next day! (click on pics to enlarge)
