I mentioned in the last post that I’d be checking out the Beijing samba drumming group, Sambasia, at a bigger venue. True to my word I went to see them at the Mao Live last week – what a great night.

There weren’t many people at the show, but amidst the sparse crowd was a group of Brazilians in town for the games I’m assuming, or maybe just passing through. Ladies in short skirts ready to shake it, muscly dudes ready to pull-out some capoeria moves and big guys with fast hands ready to drum.

Sambasia themselves put on a good show, but things really got moving when the Brazilians joined them on the stage. The previously subdued Brazilian ladies suddenly sprung into action and the dancefloor lit-up with Rio-styled sex. Wonderful.

Sorry, no music to go with today’s post but the pictures sing volumes:
