#8 - Legal Street Party




Legal! That's the word for ''cool'' here in Brazil. It also means ''legal'' like in English, and yes it is legal here to PARTY, pretty much anywhere you want. Other cities might find a jam like this to be ''illegal'' but here in Rio de Janeiro, the Marvelous City, one can jam anywhere one desires.

Here is the legendary Carlos Malta and his crew. Carlos is the guy in white with a wooden flute in the middle of the circle. He's one of the top wind players in the whole country who also play with Dave Matthew Band and here he is leading this parade of joyful noise down to a theater to go see his new film on indigenous flutes throughout Brazil. The film is called ''Xingu Cariri Caruaru Carioca''

That's me in the black playing a little harmonica!
