That sounds excellent, hopefully can make the screening. Have you all checked out Caipirinha Appreciation Society's podcasts? (No, I don't work for them.) It's some kind of partnership between Univ of London and some people in Brazil. Pretty awesome traditional and funky stuff, interspersed with some bad rock every now and then. I highly recommend it.
