Who, in your eyes, is the most famous black musician/artist/ actor/celebrity etc from Brasil?

hZVaZY l^i] V hb^aZ Cast your eyes to the page opposite. Have you seen it? Isn’t it incredible?! In eight years of JungleDrums we’ve never had such great treats for our new subscribers. That’s right – anyone subscribing to Jungle this month will get an Only When I Dance DVD - a documentary about two underprivileged teenagers from Rio and their dreams to become ballet dancers – and the new CD from Josh Rouse (March's interviewee), whose music is swimming in Brasilian influences. As well as these unmissable freebies, you’ll get the best Latin and Brasilian events calender in London delivered right to your door each month, and you’ll be the first to know about events like the festival coming to the Southbank Centre this summer. True to our promise to bring more and more events to this corner of the world, we’re proud to announce our first shows for 2010: the return of Maria Rita (18th May) and the first visit by Casuarina (26th May). As if that weren’t enough, each and every subscriber will be entered into all our competitions, with goodies like the above shows up for grabs. What are you waiting for?

Seu Jorge is a singer/songwriter of great ability. I find his lyrics very inspirational, as a matter of fact they are a depiction of the Brasilian way of life, especially life in the slums. Ana Gondos

Ronaldo Nazario, the footballer, is a world famous celebrity, and is one of the main people that spring to mind when I think of Brasilian celebrities. Meera Goria

Š<AAÂĄ 8;<D As the clock strikes 12 every Friday night, a Victorian bathhouse in Shoreditch dating back to 1895 begins to swim with a crowd of freakishly fashionable and boldly beautiful revellers, young and old, haling as much from the East End as from the far out worlds of fashion and fetish. Beneath gleaming skyscrapers, DJs, MCs and Special Guests writhe inside giant birdcages, the dance floor heaves, and behind red velvet curtains, fringes, tattoos and champagne compete for space in private booths. “When you least expect it, you might find an opera singer performing in the toilets,â€? announces Leo Belicha, a true fashionista and the man behind the magnificent plan that is the Caligula party, “there’s always that element of surprise.â€? The same goes for the crowd – and what they’re wearing, from gravity-defying headwear to shoes so high it hurts just to look at them. There’s no dress code, and pretty much everything goes. Born and raised in Rio de Janeiro, Leo has been involved in fashion and parties for as long as he can remember. A stylist by day, it’s his nighttime pursuits that have made him a name in the fashion industry, having organised bashes for the likes of Naomi Campbell, Roisin Murphy and Basso & Brooke. The Caligula night takes its name from the infamous film of the 1970’s - a veritable fest of Roman hardcore sex and violence - and is hosted by irreverent New York socialite, Andre J. Just 9 months old, Caligula already has the royal stamp of approval from Brasilian Vogue, MTV and TimeOut as London’s best party; asked what it is that makes the perfect party, Leo doesn’t hesitate; “The secret is not to take yourself too seriously. We just want people to have fun – and be surprised.â€? ,&

XjWV a^WgZ Even if you didn’t flick straight to our cover story – the lovely Sons of Cuba documentary – you’ve probably noticed we’ve come over all Cuba-feverish this month. It’s been a year since the country celebrated 50 years of the Socialist Revolution, but Cuba50 - the festival launched in January of last year which has already entertained more than 40,000 punters - has just kept going full steam ahead, in true Cuban style. This month, Cuba50 brings some of the world’s most talented and exciting dancers to the UK stages with contemporary, ballet and traditional Cuban performances which will leave you running for the nearest dance academy or perhaps even a travel agent. We’ve checked the schedule and lovingly present to you here our picks of the weeks ahead. ,&

THREE THOUSANDS KILOS OF COILED CLAY AND A LITTLE LADY If you struggle to imagine how three thousand kilos of wet clay can fit into a gallery space, you might want to head along to Anna Maria Maiolino’s exhibition. One of Brasil’s most important contemporary artists, this is Maiolino’s first UK solo show, though her work has previously featured at London's Whitechapel Gallery, and adorns New York's MOMA museum among other prestigious spaces. In addition to a series of videos made by the artist over the decades, the main attraction is the clay installation Maiolino will create on-site, which will then dry and crumble over the course of the exhibition – all part of The Continuum, Terra Modelada, a series of installations which she began in 1994. Rolling and shaping the clay by hand, the forms that Maiolino creates make reference to daily life, the relationships between individuals and societies, and the role of language - they also allude to the cycles of life and creation. “I believe contemporary Brasilian art has inherited the inquiring and free spirit proposed by the "Declaração dos Principios Básicos da Vanguarda in 1968”, explains Maiolino (see the box opposite). It was in that very era that Anna Maria Maiolino's career was launched, during what was as turbulent a time for art as it was for politics, and the advances made at the time continue to cast their influence today - something which is very much evident in Maiolino's work. ,& D[ %CTQN /QTCPFKPK

Yes, the illustrious Paris Hilton has managed, yet again, to grab the attention of the entire international media whilst visiting Brasil last month. And she’s also got feminists and the Brasilian Women’s Bureau all in a fluster. The socialite’s latest antics began at a party thrown by the Devassa brewery when she ended up on all fours acting out a bizarre dance full of shimmys and acrobatics. But it was her next move – as opposed to her drunken performances – that caused the furore. The 29-year old heiress is the new face (and body, read on) of the Devassa ad campaign. In a video now widely available online, Paris and a can of Devassa get intimate at her window, as the whole of Rio gets a good look (she’s not exactly naked – in her little dress, she even looks more modest than usual). Critics claim the advert is disrespectful to women and it’s been pulled from Brasilian TV - much to the surprise of viewers who are used to seeing much more raunchy than a fully-clothed Paris and her bevvy. ,& D[ #PFTo FG 1NKXGKTC

Vinicius Cantuaria and Rodrigo Leão & Cinema Ensemble

Vinicius Cantuaria’s music is Brazilian jazz at its most adventurous. With a band described as ‘post-electronica acoustic’, his music places him in a lineage including the great Tom Jobim and Caetano Veloso. Rodrigo Leão’s lush orchestrations sit effortlessly with songs of subtle fragility, making for hugely evocative music, cinematic in scope.

‘The epitome of post-modern Brazilian cool.’ The Independent on Vinicius Cantuaria ‘As understated as a Latin lover…irresistible.’ Songlines on Rodrigo Leão

When you think about it, Brasil has every reason to be churning out world-class photographers; a huge country heaving with rich and diverse nature, full of nooks and crannies, vastly different cultures, languages and ethnicities and still in a phase of development which allows you to find the practices of the past alongside the vision of tomorrow. This year, one of the most prolific international photography competitions, the Sony World

Photography Awards, has recognised the talent of not one but three Brasilian photographers, who have been shortlisted for prizes to be announced in April at a prestigious ceremony in Cannes. 1 | Duda Carvalho is a well-known photographer in the fashion industry in Brasil, but it was his atmospheric image of an empty restaurant that got him a Sony nomination in the Architecture category. 2 | Leonardo Giannetti is in the

amateur category, but from the looks of his portfolio he could give some pro’s a run for their money - no pun intended; he’s up for the prize in the Sports category which could win him $5,000 and a Sony camera. 3| Calil Elias Neto has been a professional photographer since 1982 and is shortlisted for two images in the Arts and Entertainment section. His pictures depict the heavily symbolic, Afro-Brasilian religious ceremonies of the Northeast. ,&

THE LADY LEADING A HOMEMADE CLOTHING REVOLUTION

'' ,WPING&TWOU B6G8= '%&%

A fashion designer who doesn’t read fashion magazines, and a Brasilian who doesn’t “do” beaches – it doesn’t take much to realise that there’s a lot that’s different about Lena Santana. And we mean that in a good way. Born in Salvador, educated in London, and wisened-up in Rio and São Paulo (where she went from dancer to actress to artist), Lena launched the book One Piece of Fabric in the UK last month, and it’s selling like hotcakes. And it's no wonder; with 15 simple but pretty patterns to make your own clothes and accessories, this is a bible for recession- and eco-friendly chic, and for anyone who, like me, thought sewing classes at school were a waste of time and has regretted it ever after. “I do fashion: I don’t do beaches,” she explains, laughing. “In most of Brasil, life revolves around the beach and all of the clothes are tight and skimpy. Those aren’t the sort of things I make. I make elegant, well-made clothes; clothes for women.” Hence the book’s loose-fitting skirts, camisoles and culottes with delicate floral print suggestions that are more Provence than Praia. But Lena’s project is about more than just promoting a different style of clothing; it’s about resurrecting a dying craft. “No-one in Brasil learns to sew anymore. To be a designer in Brasil you don’t have to know how to sew,” she laments. “But how are you meant to explain to a seamstress what you want them to do, if you don’t know how it’s done? I think that’s the problem with Brasil. That’s why there are all these clothes that are ugly, strange and tacky.” Lena’s book is well-timed; it’s a wellacknowledged fact that craft sales actually benefit from recessions, and the UK’s “cottage industry” has gone from strength to strength over the last year or so. “Because of the financial crisis, people are going back to making their own things at home,” Lena points out. “When I was growing up in Salvador, my family had no money – we were really poor,” she recalls. “My mother would buy material and then use our old clothes as the patterns to make new ones. And I used the leftover scraps to make clothes for my dolls.” Even today, Lena reckons her interest in reusable and do-ityourself fashion is rooted in her childhood. “All of this ‘disposable’ fashion doesn’t interest me in the slightest. I’d rather be small scale and not make a lot of money. ” As for inspiration, Lena is a self-confessed material addict: “Wherever I travel, the first thing I look for is a material shop. You can leave me there all day – that’s where I’ll find myself!” ,& D[ #PC 0CQOK

hdjcYh d[ V a^[Zi^bZ Leo Gandelman’s Garrincha soundtrack to the film of the same name (based on Ruy Castro’s excellent biography), conveys the twofold story of the crooked-legged ‘Joy of the People’ footballer Garrincha – his professional triumph and personal hardship. The first half contains uplifting tracks like the energetic batucada Escola, and Futebol na Areia, with its enchanting accordion-led melody. Abertura is also full of the polished jazz-samba sound often found in Far Out releases. The second half has a much darker, more atmospheric and often experimental feel to it: from the eerie Decadente Psicodélico to the cello’s lament of Hospital. This quirky score is a collection of charming and original sounds, but with numerous tracks cut short and a certain absence of linkage from one track to the next, it can make for a frustrating listen. ,&

A group of revolutionaries lead by Fidel Castro and Che Guevara have managed to wrestle power from the dictatorship of Fulgêncio Batista, establishing in its place a socialist government in a move which leads to the USA imposing a trade embargo – a blockade which has lasted until this very day. Over the years, despite the difficulties experienced since the collapse of the USSR and with it the alliance of socialist countries which supported Cuba after the US blockade, Fidel Castro’s government has established world-class heath and education systems accessible to the entire Cuban population; it also has some of the best competitive sportsmen and women in the world.

sons of cuba Nonetheless, and despite a socialist system of which equality is one of the trump cards, international sport offers opportunities to athletes that would be unthinkable for many ordinary Cubans, as well as turning them into national heroes, they receive special benefits from the government. Cuba, 2006. Throughout the year, groups of children of around nine years old from all over the country are selected to join Cuba’s regional training academies. It was the Havana Boxing Academy, where until recently, boys under 12 prepared for the Cuban National Boxing Championships, that British director Andrew Lang chose as the focus of his documentary Sons of Cuba, which will be released in London mid this month – see the box at the end of the article for more info on when it’s showing. Andrew lays claim to a long-standing interest in Cuban culture and confesses he was just looking for an excuse to make a film there, “until one day I read an article in The Times about boxing in Cuba and an interview with the two-time Olympic champion Mario Kindelán. At one point, the journalist asked him, ‘Why does Cuba have such good boxing?’ – and he said ‘Cuba is a small country, but we live to fight. We fight through every walk of life.’ Finally, Andrew recalls, he had stumbled upon the story he was looking for. “I started to think about it and I decided to put the struggle for survival as the film’s theme.” He had heard about the difficulties faced by people in Cuba, and realised the daily fight for survival seen through the prism of boxing in the rings could result in an interesting piece of work. But when Andrew was in Cuba researching the film, he came across the Havana Boxing Academy and its young pupils; a group of

WHY DOES CUBA HAVE SUCH GOOD BOXING? CUBA IS A SMALL COUNTRY, BUT WE LIVE TO FIGHT. WE FIGHT THROUGH EVERY WALK OF LIFE. children training daily in the hope of one day making it as professionals. What started off as a short showing a 17-year old boy preparing to join the national boxing squad turned into a feature-length documentary following the daily routine of a youth training academy, and the young boys who lived there. The young stars of the documentary go by the names of Cristian, Santos and Junior. Cristian ‘the old boy’ dreams of being an even better boxer than his father, the world and Olympic champion Luis Felipe Martinez. Despite being the same age as the other kids, he earned his name for his maturity and confidence, and is thought of as one of the most promising kids in the academy. Santos ‘the singer’ is a skinny little boy who seems

to like sweets and treats more than the ring, and whose worst nightmare are the daily weighings-in. Junior is known as ‘the Dalmatian’ because of the white marks on his head; he hung up his ballet shoes when a boxing trainer saw him dancing and recognised his potential for a much less dainty sport. That said, in the film Junior is seen struggling to toughen up and be less of a ‘softy’ with his adversaries. The leader of this pack is Yosvani, a man who once trained to be a boxer just like the boys in his academy, until health problems took him out of the ring, at 17. “If I couldn’t be a boxer anymore, I decided I would become the best coach I could be”, he recalls. He ended up working with children because “they’re like sponges: they absorb everything that you teach them so easily”. Some 17 years since he left the ring himself, he is considered one of the top under-12 trainers in Cuba, having coached the team which won the national championships six years in a row. Talking to Jungle on the phone from Cuba, Yosvani said he didn’t have the words to describe how it felt to have his story told for the first time. “I’m overwhelmed with pride. The film makers really showed all of the sacrifices the athletes make in order to become champions”. The film accompanies the Havana Boxing Academy for a period of eight months between 2006 and 2007, coinciding with the most significant period of political transition in Cuba in the last 50 years. In July, 2006, Fidel Castro became unwell and handed over administration of the country to his brother Raul, as an intermittent measure. The Commandante, as Castro is known, who governed the Caribbean island from 1959, made the devolution official in 2008.

sons of cuba One of the big issues in Sons of Cuba are the pressures that the children face on a daily basis. Whether it’s weight ‘problems’ – of course, none of the children in the group could be called fat, but their nutrition is closely controlled and they are weighed three times a day in the academy – or waking up at 4am to train, it’s easy to see that, in one way, they are being deprived of their childhoods. From the outset of the film, they are shown training, chanting mantras such as ‘Victory is our duty’ and ‘There is no excuse for failure’ as they dedicate themselves to fighting like professionals, and fear not being good enough to make the pre-championship selections.

And it’s difficult to ignore the brutality of the sport, although gratuitous violence is in no way encouraged in the academy. Of course, all children involved in sporting competitions are restricted in one way or another, wherever in the world that might be, let alone the pressures they face from parents and trainers. But in Cuba those pressure are multiplied. When Santos thinks about quitting boxing, it’s difficult to imagine the effect the words of his father must have on him, when he tells his son: “You have to carry on, and make yourself do it, you have to find a way to help your family in the future. You are my only son, if you don’t help me I’ll be lost...”

At the same time, when the children finally go home and we get to see the lives they would lead 24 hours a day if it wasn’t for the academy, it doesn’t seem so black and white. According to Andrew, “for really poor families, having a kid in the academy means that he is being fed during the week, but if he’s at home his parents will have to pay for his food. So that has an influence on their decisions as well.” It’s a dilemma that didn’t escape Andrew or his team. “You’re not sure if the audience is going to be impressed or horrified with what the kids are going through. And there were aspects of the whole system that were impressive: these kids were quite disciplined,

sons of cuba there had a great sense of community, they really helped each other out, all of which is very positive, but then there’s elements that were hard to swallow, these kids training so hard with so little food, punching each other in the face, it’s really hard, so we really had mixed feelings when filming it� One of the documentary’s strongest points, in fact, is that Andrew gained the confidence of his subjects, giving rise, at times, to some confessional declarations – like when Cristian’s mother admits her family have been through such difficult times that she has had to send her children to bed hungry. The Havana Boxing Academy closed its doors around two years ago, but others have sprung up in its place. Yosvani has been

teaching at the High Achievement Centre for three months, but he still keeps in touch with his ex-pupils. “I miss them as if they were my own children. I still meet Cristian, and we talk a lot. He still fights and shows a lot of promise. Even though they were still kids when they started training, I think of them as my companions, too. And as the years pass, our friendship develops too – when they have problems they know they can talk to me,� he shares, with an air of contentment. Andrew is unequivocal: “I wouldn’t want my child in a system like theirs, but if my son had a coach or a teacher like Yosvani it would be a good thing, because he was amazing. Yosvani had a real way with children. He was a real father figure.� ,&

interview

JD GLIMPSES THE BRASIL-TINTED WORLD OF BOSSA-INSPIRED JOSH ROUSE, THE NEBRASKAN MUSICIAN WHO’S MORE AT HOME IN SPAIN, AND FINDS OUT WHAT FLOATS HIS MUSICAL BOAT “That’s a difficult question,” says Josh Rouse, when asked to name his perfect line up for an imaginary Brasilian music festival. “João [Gilberto] is my favourite, but I hear that he’s kind of weird...” It might be owing to the soft style of singing and Josh’s delicate voice, that the father of Bossa Nova is his idol, but the American’s relationship with Brasilian music goes far deeper. His passion is evident throughout his new album El Turista(see the review on p.40), which has just been launched at the start of March. From Valencia, Spain, where Josh now lives with his wife, Josh had a chat with Jungle before jumping on a plane for a European tour, which will bring him to the HMV Forum in London on the 24th of March. During our interview, he told us about the time the pouring rain led him to spend the whole night in a hotel lobby, jamming with Seu Jorge - and he promises to be singing in Portuguese before too long: “I’m trying! My next language to learn is Portuguese.” El Turista is getting rave reviews and being sold as your most Brasilian album, it sounds really good, very lush, full of orchestrations... Yeah, thanks. The record turned out really nice, it’s elegant and classy but, at the same time, there’s a little bit of a party element on it, with songs like ‘Valencia’ and ‘Las Voces’. And then there’s a kind of Bahian groove on some other tunes.

How has your appreciation of Brasilian music come about? Were your parents fans of Bossa Nova? No, I discovered it - it came from me. But a lot of my friends listen to older, Brasilian music. And you know, it’s just the best music in the world - I think that a lot of musicians

BRASILIANS ARE KIND OF SUPERIOR TO THE REST OF THE WORLD; AS MUSICIANS WE ALWAYS LOOK TO THEM, AND LISTEN TO THEM. see it that way. Because the Brasilians are kind of superior to the rest of the world, we, as musicians always look to them, we listen to them a lot, especially (Tom) Jobim, he was such a genius composer. And, you know, we like string arrangements and things like that. And because I’m a songwriter who just likes working in a lot of different styles of music, I decided for this record to mix some of that with what I’m doing. How will it work live? Are you planning

on bringing strings with you on tour? No strings, but there’s a piano player and a drummer who plays percussion too. Then there’s a bass player, and a guy playing charango, which is an Argentinean instrument, and I’ll play acoustic guitar. It’s looking really good, it’s a good concert, I think. Apart from the drummer, the band is formed by people that I met here in Spain over the past few years. You’ve been in Spain for quite a long time. Do you, as the title of your album suggests, still feel like a tourist? I’ve been here for five years, and I feel at home in Spain. But you know, the title El Turista comes from the fact that I feel at home here, but I’m not from here - like a lot of people in major cities. They always come from somewhere else. Even when you have your home and your family in a different place, as an immigrant, you’re always kind of like a foreigner. There’s something that you will miss in the culture sometimes – you have the culture from your own place, but culturally you are kind of like a tourist – you’re trying to pick up on what people are doing, and enjoy it and learn from it. And that was kinda the purpose of the title. The album’s artwork shows a passport with loads of visas. Is it really yours? And why no stamp for Brasil?! Yeah, that’s actually my old passport that expired. The Brasil one is not there because the visa is in my new passport. That was a

Josh Rouse be honest I wasn’t expecting much, because they told me I only had one record out there and it was from a long time ago [his second album being the highly recommended Home]. When I arrived there, the first concert was almost sold out, and everyone knew the words to all the songs. It was great. I think we all felt really good about it, so I thought “I need to come here more often”. You mention that you got in touch with Brasilian music through some friends. How did it happen? I think it was in 2003. I mean, I’ve always kinda known some of the classic stuff from Brasil, because everyone does. But I got a

little more deeper into it when Brad Jones, the guy who produced 1972, Nashville and the new record, started making me compilations of all these different people. But just in the last few years I’ve started to discover so many things, and I’ve became a big fan of Jorge Ben, Vinícius de Moraes and Caetano Veloso. And I think Caetano’s still doing great records, his last one [Zii e Zie], is really cool. I love how it sounds like he just has one idea but he’ll do this for ten minutes, and he’ll make something really, really cool out of it. And I’d really like to work with Arto Lindsay. Did you have time to go around Brasil?

REVIEW

hard one to get. I think that Brasil has a weird [diplomatic] relation with America at the moment. But I’m really glad that I got to go, [Josh played São Paulo and Natal in 2008], and I really want to go again. How did it go? Were you surprised when you got to Brasil and found you had quite a few fans of your work? Yeah! It was crazy! I think a promoter from São Paulo had been in contact with my manager for a couple of years. And we kept saying “Yeah, we’ll try”. I’m a big fan of Brasilian music, so I’d always wanted to go, but it was a question of timing and when I could go, and it never really happened. To

interview

No, just Natal and São Paulo. I’ve only been there for a few days, but it was great. I got to meet Seu Jorge and his band and we played some songs with them after the concert. Do you like his music? Yeah, I do. I really like the David Bowie covers that he did. I actually prefer him just on an acoustic guitar, I kind of like that sound. His band is great, but sometimes, maybe it’s a little too produced and too smooth – I kind of like the sound of his voice and just the guitar. Did you play together in Brasil? Yeah, we played at a festival. We were the only group that wasn’t from Brasil. It was

great, all the bands, including Seu Jorge, got together in the hotel lobby and everyone played Beatles and Jorge Ben songs until six in the morning. There were like ten guitars and a piano, and everyone was singing. It was amazing for the band and I - it couldn’t have been any better. Were you impressed by any bands that you saw there? Yeah, there was a lot of real modern stuff. Besides Seu Jorge, there were a lot of bands trying to do new things. It was great because a lot of Brasilian music I know is just the classics. But this was pretty progressive... a bit more rocky than I’m used to.

First time I saw you play the UK it was just you and a guitar, but you’re back at ever bigger venues - what’s going on? I kind of became popular in London, which is nice, so I can afford to bring a band now! Do you enjoy London as a city? I do and I’m there a lot – I like it. It’s quite expensive, I don’t know if I’d live there, I just think that it’s too expensive for the climate! You’re in search of good food and sun? Yeah sure – who isn’t?! ,& ?DH= GDJH: 5 =BK ;DGJB LZY! BVgX] ')i] " 9ddgh ,eb! &=BK ;dgjb! ."&, =^\]\ViZ GdVY " CL* &?N K:CJ:H#B:6C;>99A:G#8DB %'% ,)'- )%-%

PROJECT OFFERS SEXUAL HEALTH EDUCATION AND TREATMENT FOR ETHNIC MINORITIES Anyone living outside of their home country faces a series of challenges they must overcome - this being even more so the case for immigrants of ethnic and social minorities. It was for this specific target audience that the Naz Project London was set up – the longest running institution offering free sexual health and HIV/AIDS advice and support for Black and Minority Ethic (BME) Communities in the UK. The Naz Project was created in 1991 and is divided into several projects according to the ethnic origin of its clients – as Naz refers to the people who benefit from its services. There is a dedicated service for Muslims; another for Asian men; one for people of African origin; Naz Latin, for Spanish speakers and, finally, Naz Vidas, a service for Portuguese-speakers, including the ‘Portu-Gays’ support group for homosexuals. José Resinente, the client support manager at Naz Vidas, says that dividing the services along ethnic and cultural lines is a way of

WHAT NAZ DOES AND HOW YOU CAN HELP

facilitating communication and adapting sexual health education to different cultures. “We don’t look at people as Latinos, blacks, Asians, HIV-positive or negative, homosexual or straight, legal or illegal immigrants, but as human beings who need support and information and medical care,” he explains. One of the things Naz Project/Naz Vidas do is to offer support to people with sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), including medical advice and treatment in conjunction with psychologists and hospitals, and, if necessary, with the assistance of interpreters. They’re also active in raising awareness of STD prevention through campaigns, talks, community outreach and local training programmes, and handing out information leaflets and free condoms. Around 150 Portuguese-speaking people benefit from the services offered by Naz Vidas, the majority of whom are Brasilian. They meet monthly for group psychotherapy sessions, as well as having individual

sessions available to them. The ‘Portu-Gays’ group has more than 60 participants, who meet regularly to discuss all kinds of things including STDs and discrimination, amid other issues. Naz offers free HIV testing with the results produced in 30 minutes. In the last three months, NAZ has tested 50 people, 30 of which were Brasilians. According to the NHS (Britain’s National Health Service), some 30% of people in the UK living with HIV don’t yet even know they have the virus. José points out that the sooner a person knows their HIV status, the better their chances of improving their quality of life and life expectancy; “10 years ago, a person with HIV had a life expectancy of just 10 years. But today, the life expectancy for someone who is HIV positive is the same as for a person who is negative”, José explains. “That’s because medical science has developed treatments which now allow people to lead a totally normal life.” ,&

For those who want to break the cycle, a trip away from the dreary winter weather to Brasil’s warm tropical climate could be just the antidote. But rather than just spending the time lying on a beach or catching up on your binge drinking, why not use the time away trying to keep those promises you made to yourself? Yoga retreats are the perfect answer, allowing you to combine nutrition, exercise and

meditation in as little as a week. From the North to the South, Brasil offers different Yoga retreat options for all tastes, ranging from inquisitive beginners right through to professionals in the field. Situated in tropical, isolated locations, surrounded by nature, the retreats offer organic food - often vegetarian - as well as walks along glorious beaches and various types of yoga practices. Yoga Retreat Brazil is a small chain found throughout Brasil in the states of Bahia, Rio de Janeiro and Santa Catarina, offering a diverse array of services. According to owner Donna-Tienne Sternfeld, the aim is to help guests to disconnect from their daily routine

big

and to reconnect to their inner selves. Yoga Retreat Brazil offer guests organic, vegetarian meals and holistic treatments. The Bahia retreat is situated inside an ecological reserve within the Monte Pascoal National Park, with the main town located at the mouth of the River Caraíva, far away from the distractions of the big city, and with the sea, river and park as its boundaries. Energy used within the resort is solar- or generator-driven and the only means of transport are via the river or sea. Caraíva, originally inhabited by the Pataxó indigenous tribe, has no electricity supply or road access, which has helped to preserve its natural

Para quem deseja quebrar este ciclo, uma boa ideia é um break fugindo do frio, cansaço e poluição do Reino Unido, rumo aos trópicos, mais especificamente ao Brasil. Uma semana já é tempo suficiente para conseguir se desligar das pressões do trabalho, relaxar e voltar com uma injeção de ânimo. E para tornar a experiência completa, que tal aliar alimentação, exercícios e meditação? De norte a sul, o país oferece opções de yoga spas para todos os gostos: dos curiosos e iniciantes até os profissionais da área. Em locais quentes e ensolarados, e cercados pela natureza, os spas oferecem alimentação orgânica, muitas vezes vegetariana, e caminhadas em praias paradisiacas, além de, obviamente, várias modalidades da prática da yoga.

O Yoga Retreat Brazil dispõe de diversas opções de localização, serviços e aulas nos estados da Bahia, Rio de Janeiro e Santa Catarina. Segundo a proprietária Donna-Tienne Sternfeld, o objetivo é ajudar o hóspede a se desconectar da rotina diária, reconectando-se consigo mesmo. Os spas oferecem refeições orgânicas vegetarianas e tratamentos holísticos. Na Bahia, situa-se dentro de uma reserva ecológica no Parque Nacional Monte Pascoal, em Caraíva. A vila fica na foz do rio Caraíva, distante das grandes cidades, tendo como limites o mar, o rio e o parque. A energia é solar ou de gerador, e os únicos meios de transporte são o maritimo e o fluvial; em Caraíva ainda não há rede elétrica ou automóveis, no entanto, a dificuldade de acesso à vila de Caraíva, antiga aldeia de índios Pataxó, é o que mantém preservada sua paisagem natural e a torna ainda mais encantadora. No Rio de Janeiro, há unidades do Yoga Retreat Brazil em Búzios, B6GvD '%&% ,WPING&TWOU )*

yoga retreats beauty and make it even more alluring. Within the state of Rio de Janeiro alone, the Yoga Retreat Brazil has locations in Búzios, Visconde de Mauá and Ilha Grande. In Santa Catarina it's situated on Praia Mole beach, Florianópolis, and as the beach is famous for its surf, the resort offers a special programme based around both activities. The retreats in Santa Catarina and Bahia are both open to professionals who want to come along with their own groups. The most basic accommodation is offered at the Santa Catarina resort, with prices starting at £723 a week, and includes Hatha, Ashtanga and Integrative yoga therapies as well as Ayurvedic treatments. For those not in the yoga know, Hatha is a less vigorous style of yoga; 'ha' means sun, and 'tha' means moon, representing the union of opposites. The intention of Hatha

yoga is to harmonise the body, soul and spirit, with stamina. Ashtanga, on the other hand, is more dynamic and physically demanding. All Ayurvedic treatments are non-invasive, using plants and herbs to prevent and cure ailments entirely via natural resources. Femke De Groot, from Amsterdam, is full of praise for the Yoga Retreat Brazil. “When we think about Brasil we think Amazon and Carnival, but I never imagined it would be so fantastic! Yoga Retreat Brazil is idyllic for any yoga fans who love diversity and nature. It’s a great cultural mix of pleasure, beach life, health and relaxation.” Santa Catarina does seem to be the perfect location to practise yoga - many other companies have yoga retreats located within the state. The Montanha Encantada Yoga Centre is located within a reserve in

Garopaba, surrounded by Atlantic Rainforest. The city is made up of beautiful beaches, tranquil bays, sand dunes and rugged coastal dirt tracks. Another unique reason to visit is the presence of Right Whales in Garopaba, every year from June to November, which come to this region in search of warmer waters to reproduce and feed their young. Montanha Encantada is situated in an area of abundant natural splendour, offering ecological paths with views overlooking the beaches and mountains, as well as natural pools, a private fountain and earthy suites created out of wood. The centre offers three vegetarian meals a day made from organic produce and prepared on site at the resort. In addition, the Dhanvantari Therapy Centre offers Chakra-balancing massages which stimulate the energy points in the body, and Thai Yoga massages, which

Visconde de Mauá e Ilha Grande. Em Santa Catarina, o spa está localizado na Praia Mole, em Florianopolis; como a praia é famosa pelo surf, há um programa especial integrando as duas atividades. Os retiros em Santa Catarina e Bahia também estão disponíveis para profissionais que queiram hospedar seu próprio grupo. As acomodações mais simples estão localizadas em Santa Catarina, com preços a partir de R$ 2019, incluindo as yogas Hatha e Ashtanga, entre outras, e tratamentos ayurvédicos. Para quem não sabe, Hatha é um estilo mais suave; 'ha' significa sol e 'tha', lua, representando a união dos opostos. A intenção, em uma aula de Hatha é harmonizar corpo, alma e espírito, através da força e da resistência. Já a Ashtanga é mais dinâmica e vigorosa, exigindo mais esforço físico. E qualquer tratamento ayuvédico, é não-invasivo, trabalhando com plantas, hervas, sempre com os objetivos de prevenir e curar se utilizando de recursos naturais. A cliente Femke De Groot, de Amsterdã, Holanda, é só elogios ao Yoga Retreat. “Desde o primeiro contato com a empresa fui tão bem atendida pelo pessoal de vendas online que me senti confortável na )+ ,WPING&TWOU B6G8= '%&%

escolha do melhor programa para mim. Quando ouvimos falar de Brasil, pensamos logo em Floresta Amazônica e Carnaval, mas nunca imaginei que seria tão fantástico! O Yoga Retreat Brazil é idílico para qualquer interessado em yoga que ama diversidade e natureza. É uma grande mistura de prazeres, vida praiana, muita saúde e relaxamento”, diz. Santa Catarina parece ser um local especial para yoga, já que outros retiros também escolheram o estado para montar sedes. O Centro de Yoga Montanha Encantada está localizado em uma área com mais de 50 hectares de Mata Atlântica, dentro de uma Área de Proteção Ambiental permanente em Garopaba. A cidade é formada por lindas praias, baías de águas tranqüilas, dunas e trilhas ao longo de costões de pedra. Outra peculiaridade de Garopaba é a presença, todos os anos, de junho a novembro, das baleias Franca, que procuram esta região em busca de águas mais quentes para procriar e amamentar os seus filhotes. O local onde está situada a Montanha Encantada possui trilhas ecológicas com vista para praias e montanhas, além de piscinas de

Solange Barden, Ayurvedic Massage Therapist at the Montanha Encantada, explains that the programmes are created to bring physical and mental well-being to participants. “Clients who undertake the courses or treatments on offer leave feeling rejuvenated and revitalised both in body and spirit, and ready to face the world once again.” A one week package costs £357 per person. “We offer a wide variety of courses for all levels of yoga students. We receive all types of people on a daily basis – beginners right through to professionals in the area”, explains Felipe Buzzi, Marketing Manager at Montanha Encantada. The Pousada do Ceo is also located in the

region of Santa Catarina, which combines native architecture with traditional, handmade decorations, with views overlooking the Praia do Rosa valley, the Lagoa de Ibiraquera lake and the Siriú sand dunes. It offers personalised suites, a pool with a waterfall and a viewing deck with panoramic views surrounded by exuberant natural landscapes. Some of the other amenities they offer include afternoon tea and wireless internet connection. According to general manager Natalie Nardi, rates throughout July, September and November are as follows: 7 days, including breakfast, dinner, yoga and dance classes as well as a guided tour of the region and other activities is around £980 per person.

Além disso, dispõe do Centro de Terapias Dhanvantari, com Massagens dos Chakras, que estimula os pontos de concentração de energia no corpo, e Thay Yoga Massagem, que aplica pressão e técnicas de relaxamento combinados a alongamento suave e yoga.

O pacote para uma semana custa cerca de mil reais. “Oferecemos grande variedade de cursos voltados para todos os níveis de praticantes e estudiosos da yoga: recebemos diariamente de curiosos a profissionais da área”, diz Felipe Buzzi, gerente de marketing da Montanha Encantada.

arquitetura nativa catarinense e a decoração artesanal mineira com vista para o vale da Praia do Rosa, Lagoa de Ibiraquera e dunas do Siriú. Dispõe de suítes personalizadas, piscina com cascata e deck com vista panorâmica, envoltos por uma natureza exuberante. O local oferece ainda café da tarde mineiro e conexão wireless. Segundo Natalie Nardi, a gerente da pousada, os próximos retiros estão agendados para julho, setembro e novembro. Para uma estada de sete dias, o valor está em torno de R$ 2.730, incluindo café-damanha e jantar, aulas de yoga e dança, um tour na região e outros atrativos. Lisa Durant, a editora de beleza da revista Instyle UK, é praticante de yoga e diz que já esteve em retiros na Europa, mas que não podem ser comparados a sua estada na Pousada do Ceo. “O lugar é extraodinário, a vista é incrível. Não sabia que comida saudável poderia ser tão saborosa! Fiz aulas de capoeira, e adoraria tentar o surf na próxima vez. As pessoas, a comida, a hospitalidade, e a Praia do Rosa definitivamente fizeram deste retiro algo para ser lembrado”, diz a hóspede.

yoga retreats Lisa Durant, Beauty Editor of InStyle magazine, is an avid yoga devout and has been to various yoga retreats across Europe, but none of them compare to her stay at the Pousada do Ceo. “The place is extraordinary and the views are incredible. I didn’t know healthy food could taste so good! I took Capoeira classes and would love to try surfing next time around. The people, food, hospitality and Praia do Rosa beach all made my stay unforgettable”. The Island Experience in Ilha Grande is located 100 miles south of Rio de Janeiro in an area famous for its 106 beaches and 55 waterfalls, caves and rivers, and protected Atlantic Rainforest reserve. The retreat offers a 7-day detox programme for body and mind, which consists of walks, yoga classes,

meditation and kayaking, topped by healthy menus developed by a nutritionist. There are also dance, capoeira and painting classes. Recently, the island received an A-list celebrity in the shape of American actor Chris Noth, who undertook a gruelling nine-day programme to help prepare him for his role in the upcoming movie Sex and the City II, in which he plays “Mr Big”, Carrie’s (Sarah Jessica Parker) love interest. A 7-day programme with a sea-view room, full board, two daily yoga classes and tours around the island and Rio starts from £785 per person - and they only take a maximum of 12 people per week, so as to give each guest the attention they deserve. With so many options, there's never been more reason to de-stress! ,&

Localizada a duas horas de carro e 40 minutos de barco, mais precisamente a 100 milhas ao sul da cidade do Rio de Janeiro, The Island Experience em Ilha Grande, oferece um programa de sete dias para desintoxicação do corpo e da mente, que consiste na união de atividades como caminhadas, aulas de yoga, meditação e caiaque, com uma dieta natural, desenvolvida por um nutricionista. Além disso, dispõe de aulas de dança, capoeira, música ao vivo e pintura. Recentemente, a ilha recebeu a visita do ator americano Chris Noth, que adotou o programa de nove dias para entrar em forma e voltar a interpretar o papel de “Mr. Big”, o eterno namorado de Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker) em Sex in the City II. A Ilha Grande é famosa por suas 106 praias e 56 cachoeiras, cavernas e rios. A área consiste em uma reserva de Mata Atlantica, protegida pelo governo brasileiro. Para o pacote de sete dias, de domingo a sábado, o programa oferece quarto com vista para o mar, todas as refeições inclusas, duas aulas diárias de yoga, e turismo na ilha e no Rio de Janeiro. O preço para uma pessoa é de R$ 2188, e para o casal R$3465. Os grupos são formados por no máximo 12 pessoas por semana, para que todos possam receber uma atenção especial. Com tantas opções, não há razão para alimentar o estresse! ,&

THIS MONTH, THE JD TEAM RECOMMEND

forget egg hunts, we want ours handed to us on a steak! It’s almost Easter, and to children in England, that means just one thing: chocolate eggs. Lots of them. The little runts at Jungle are no different, but this month we’re watering at the mouth for a different kind of eggy treat, and this one goes by the name of Bife à Cavalo. 1 | Season 4, 225g rib-eye steaks with salt and pepper 2 | Pour 2 tablespoons of oil into a large pan and sauté the meat for about 3 minutes on each side, until crispy. 3 | Rest steaks on a plate 4 | Melt 55g butter in a frying pan over medium heat, and fry two eggs with salt and pepper. Top steaks with eggs. 5 | In the leftover butter, sauté one finely-chopped shallot. Drizzle on top of steaks. Garnish with parsley and parmesan shavings. Recipe by Leiticia Moreinos Schwarz.

Então, é quase Páscoa, e para a maioria das crianças na Inglaterra isto significa apenas uma coisa: ovos de chocolate. E muitos deles. Os baixinhos aqui na Jungle não são diferentes, mas este mês nós estamos com água na boca por um tipo diferente de deleite de ovo, e este é conhecido como Bife à Cavalo. Não dá para prometer que é menos calórico que um ovo de chocolate, mas isto não é razão para não prová-lo! 1 | Tempere 4 bifes de 225g cada de contrafilé com sal e pimenta; 2 | Coloque 2 colheres de sopa de óleo em uma panela grande e frite a carne por aproximadamente 3 minutos em cada lado, até ficar crocante; 3 | Reserve os bifes em um prato; 4 | Derreta 55g de manteiga em uma frigideira em fogo médio, e frite dois ovos com sal e pimenta por 2-3 minutos. Coloque os ovos sobre os bifes; 5 | Na manteiga restante, refogue uma chalota finamente cortada. Jogue-a sobre os bifes. Decore com salsinha e lascas de queijo parmesão.

iberian nights If you’re knowledge of Spanish cuisine stops at Paella, a trip to Iberica to discover some new Spanish flavours is just the thing you need. Opened a year and half ago, and situated just five minutes away from Regent’s Park, Iberica sits on a pleasant corner of Great Portland Street, enjoying a privileged postcode. The varied menu offers diverse dishes from all of Spain, with an added, personal touch from the in-house chefs Santiago Guerrero and Nacho Manzano. In the ground-floor restaurant you’ll find a relaxed atmosphere in which you can try one of the main courses or just nibble on some of the different types of cheese and ham available, whilst sampling a good Spanish wine - Iberica has an impressive and varied wine list with some tip top varieties you won't easily find anywhere else. The suggestions of chef Guerrero are the ham croquettes, the black rice with prawns, or the octupus. For dessert he recommends the caramelised rice pudding, which is reminiscent of traditional British puddings. In contrast, the mezzanine restaurant is a more formal space, which is only open Tuesday to Saturday. Here you can peruse are more refined and inventive menu created by Chef Manzano. Highly recommended are the morcillas (sausages made from pigs blood) as an entrée, followed by grilled steak and mashed potatoes for the the main course. But if you’re still left wanting your Paella, you can come down on a Saturday when it’s served up, Spanish-style.

west LONDON cubana - bar & restaurant

a little havana With ten years of experience serving up the Cuban experience, Cubana, in South West London, is an informal and charming bar and restaurant that serves traditional cooking and drinking based on fresh, healthy ingredients and cooking methods. Once you’ve been in, you’ll understand that the name of the establishment is instrinsically linked with the atmosphere of the place – and the décor, which is full of props, flags and pictures hailing from the island of Cuba, which give it a fun feel. To get the full Cubana experience, try a mojito (£4.95), made with fresh mint and freshly-squeezed lime juice mixed with organic raw cane sugar. If you get there for Happy hour (Mon – Sat, 5pm-6:30pm), you can get two for one on cocktails or sangria. As a starter, croquetas de boniato y chorizo con salsa are pretty damn tasty and, as we were delighted to discover, they aren’t really fatty: organic chorizo and sweet potato croquettes with fresh, home-made tomato salsa. Cubana also has a range of vegetarian food, like vegetarian tapas (£7.95 to share). You won’t be dissapointed by Pollo Criolo, a Cubana favourite, free-range chicken, casseroled in fresh orange, sherry, onions and garlic, served with fried plantain and black bean rice, for only £9.95. If you want it all to yourself, Cubana is up for hire with a a private mojito bar and live music. Check the website for music schedules and menus and more.

How’s it going? I wanted to congratulate you for the last issue with the events calendar for 2010! It was a very rich issue, to be saved until the end of the year. Well done, you’re doing better each month! Márcia Pacheco, via email Hi Márcia, good to hear from you and thanks for your compliments - it was a fun roundup to create and it's all credit to the abundance of Brasilian and Latin things happening in London and those that are working hard to make this happen. Keep the edition handy for ideas, and watch out for JD's own events this year too such as Maria Rita @ Koko on May 18th and Casuarina @ Guanabara on May 26th! Best, JD. OPPORTUNITY KNOCKS Hello! I’m a Brasilian journalist, I just got to London and I’m looking for a job. I discovered the work of JungleDrums through the website and I thought it fantastic. I'd like to know if you've got any vacancies at the moment - sending my CV attached. Many thanks! Ericka de Sá Galindo, via email

TWEET TWEET Thanks to the editor of JungleDrums magazine I have today discovered the lovely Brasilian MySpace sensation Mallu Magalhães Vicky Baker, via twitter She's fun hey!? Glad to hear we could point you in the right direction, and of course raising the profile and spreading the word about Brasilian & Latin talent, especially of young and emerging talent, is at the heart of what Jungle's all about!

And of course for all you social communicators out there, like Vicky, you can keep up with JD on Twitter @jungledrumsmag. WEBSITE QUERY Hi JD.

THE GREEN BUSINESS STUDENT WHO LIKES TO KEEP UP WITH LONDON'S LATIN EVENTS AND LONGS TO REVISIT FLORIANÓPOLIS What do you do for a living? I’m an environmentalist/ business student and I have been working on some independent projects. How did you find out about Jungle? I first came across Jungle through friends and now I can’t stop reading it! Why do you read Jungle? Mainly because of the true connections to Brasil, and the culturally relevant content. What's your favourite section in the magazine? The Agenda, where I can keep up to date with what’s going on in London, in terms of Latin events. Do you have a favourite article or feature? Destination. It has

introduced me to quite a few different places in Brasil that I’m hoping to visit soon. What is your favourite place in Brasil? I have to say Florianópolis. The mixture of the landscape and the people is just fascinating. Who is your favourite famous Brasilian? Gilberto Gil. He's a fantastic singer and a man of ideas. When you hear the word 'Brasil', what's the first thing that springs to mind? Natural beauty and people. What's your favourite Brasilian place in London? Canela Café in Covent Garden, whenever I’m in the area I pop in for a quick snack. ,&
