We have a busy month coming up. We're scheduling a caxixi making workshop for anyone who wants to learn the ancient art of underwater basket weaving. Our Louisville open roda will be at the end of the months. All cities welcome. We also have a couple of demos coming up, so keep an ear out for the berimbau. As always, you are welcome to join us for our Thursday open floors and Saturday classes (which will be moving back to the Shawnee Community Center soon).

Perhaps we'll start to hear this in the rodas around town. What do you think, Louisville?
