中南米ウィーク （Semana Latina）

と言うわけで、先週に引き続き、今週は中南米ウィークです。
ボサノバ演奏やカルトクイズなどが行われていますが、
今夜のラストを飾ったのは、そう、カポエラ！

手に手錠をつけられた奴隷が編み出した格闘技がルーツだそうですが、
今では逆に相手に当てると下手な証拠。
すっかりとスポーツ化されているようです。

それにしてもここフォンティにどうやらカポエラチームがいるらしく、
本格的なカポエラを間近で見ることが出来ました♪
ビデオも撮ったんですが、重すぎてYoutubeにアップできず・・・残念・・・

こういうものを体験できるのもInseadならではだと思います。^^
---------------------------------------------------------
Following the Britain/Irish week, we have a Semana Latina this week.
Some events such as cult quiz and bossa nova concert are being held;
and the main event tonight was Capoeira show!

Capoeira has its root in the martial arts developed by slabes who
had to have their hands tied.
However, now that it has become one of the sports;
you cannot hit your feet to the others now.

One surprise was that it seems that there is a capoeira team in Fonty.
Thanks to them, we could enjoy watching REAL CAPOEIRA here at Insead.
I recorded the live capoeira, but could not upload the file on Youtube due to its size...

We can easily enjoy this kind of cultural things here at Insead.
I think this is one of the merits to come to Insead!
