Curry Clube 5th Anniversary Party

Posted byfavelabrassPosted inUncategorizedTags:,

On Sunday the 16th of November our (now monthly) culinary fundraiser, the Curry Clube, celebrated 5 years of existence with a special event which combined Indian food with a live samba band, comprising star students Victor Hugo, Vinícius and Gabriella alongside percussion teacher Mangueirinha, samba singer and cavaquinho player Thiago Torres and French singer/guitarist Paul Eduoardo Gardelle who does a roda de samba workshop with the children on Wednesdays.

Also present at the party were American journalists Nadia Sussman and Taylor Barnes, who wrote a very nice piece about us on an international food blog called Culinary Backstreets.
