Freedom fighters

12-year olds, Evandro and Roberth, carry with them the spirit of their enslaved forefathers, who developed capoeira during their fight for freedom in 19th. Century Brazil. Now the boys will spend some time in Norway sharing their knowledge of this remarkable sporting art with the children and young people who have supported the Hummingbird Project for more than a decade.

Listen to the tones of the Berimbau playing São Bento Grande. Quite different to those of the Hardingfele in this picture

NB! The Berimbau is the principal instrument in Brazilian Capoeira, whereas the Hardingfele is that of Norwegian folkdancing and music.

Hello! I represent the RandL Design Company in Taiwan. We are
preparing a project that is making 2010 calendar for The Export-Import
Back, ROC. I need to know if I could use this amazing picture for the
calendar that we are going to publish and how much it is going to be.

I hope we'll have the great honor to have your help on this project.
Thank you for taking time to read this. Hope to hear from you soon.

Dear sir,
I am an editor of "Landmark English" magazines for English education in Taiwan. We hope we may get some pictures of Capoeira. The reason is we will introduce Capoeira for our readers in December. Therefore, we hope you sent the photo or let us copy the photo in this website.

Finally, we hope the fee of the picture could be free. We will mark the source on the pictures as well. The photos will be applied in our magazines only not for any
business use. We really appreciate your help!!
Best regards,

My e-mail michelle.peng@english4u.com.tw
