Healing the Youth of Nicaragua with Capoeira

This is a video of my good friend Justin Prado whom I met at the Central Park drum circle and became close through our love of drumming. Drumming led him to Capoeira (Brazilian form of martial arts that incorporates music and song). And Capoeira led him back to his home country of Nicaragua (away for 32 years!) where he had the opportunity to teach capoeira to children of the Fabretto youth organization, who's mission is to "enable impoverished Nicaraguan children and their families in underserved communities to break the cycle of poverty and reach their full potential through programs promoting nutrition, health, education, community and character development." www.fabretto.org

Right on, Justin.
