On Monday Brazilian national TV channel TV Brasil did a short piece about our project, with the children demonstrating how to play the different instruments and afterwards playing Carnaval tune “Mulata Yê-Yê-Yê” all together.
The kids played great and handled the pressure of playing for, and talking to, the camera really well:
