Master Washington Paz Leads
22 years with the school, Washington Paz builds a family battery. Focuses on youth through “À Procura da Cadência Perfeita” project.
Watching kids commit moves me. This year, ten aged 13-16, including my daughter on caixa for her debut.
280 percussionists in 2026, 70% community members. Inocentes parades Feb 13 with “O sonho de um tal pagode russo nos frevos do meu Pernambuco” by Edson Pereira.
