Deep in the heart of one of Rio's most feared favelas, Afro Reggae's story stands out as an inspirational lesson to anyone passionate about life. Many of the children in this area have no ambition or hope and will invariably end up in the drug trade. But through music training and a combination of creative teaching and life skills development, this organisation has made a massive impact - worth the danger - definitely worth the visit!
After a warm reception, the group were treated to various local 'drumming' acts - sensational vibe! Following a very informal, hot, but extremely tasty lunch we had the chance to actually experiment with some of the music kit! After examining the video evidence a little later I would suggest some of our team to be tone deaf but on the whole an excellent effort! Great afternoon for all!
