Bloco Tamo Junto in Folia


Hi gang, here's a foto from last saturday when I went to the first rehearsal for Tamo Junto. They asked me to play chocalho with them! Most of them are also mocidade or ex, so they know me already. Buda, the tall guy in the foto is a director here and was a long time surdo player for mocidade.
I just looked on their site to see when the next rehearsal is and I hope I'm wrong, but it looks like the rehearsals are going to be the same night as Unidos de Padre Miguel. What a drag! I really liked the vibe here. I'd heard from David, Kathleen and Jacare how blocos were so different from escolas de samba, and now I see it. Way more relaxed, into having fun, very open...Oh well, I hope I'm wrong about the rehearsal days.
