 As
every year, from the trees which seem without life, dried up by the cold
drought of winter in Tokyo, the first buds appear. It is Spring. In a
land of contrasts, the contrast of the black branch with the green life
of the first leaves is but one more. The old and new, the traditional
and modern, duality of ideas, of the sensations and sentiments.
In
this same land, in March of 2001, friends who had in common a love for
samba, a rhythm that came from a very distant land, resolved to get together
and form a group where they could cultivate their passion and make it
flourish.
That
March the BLOCO ARRASTAO was born.
Since
then, attracted by contagious rhythm of samba, more and more friends have
come together. They are trying to overcome barriers inherent in comprehension
and assimilation through this popular manifestation of another culture.
Without
forgetting the origins of this music, which comes from Brazil, we look
for ways to diffuse samba in this land, with the intention of showing
or rather, catching Japanese through the force and energy that only samba
possess.
It
is a symbiosis of cultures.
Brazil
and Japan
It
is our colors, black and white.
It
is the bud born on a branch without life.
