The vida Floripa, immortalized in music video!

Screen Shot 2012-12-21 at 10.09.44 PMS1260021Here’s a little song I made with my homies Dan Eisenberg and Tiaraju Verdi – two people who I miss a lot now that I am no longer in Floripa. One afternoon, we had a fun time jamming on the tablas, pandeiro, and berimbau to this sweet funk beat we found on the internet by Kunde.  In the aftermath, I put lyrics to it, all about the “Vida Floripa” – my journey to Florianopolis and the beautiful life that we enjoyed on the island.    Before taking off for Salvador, I made a couple video clips on my favorite sand dune and beach with my friend Therson Mehl, and just for fun, put together this little video.  Hope you like it!

Ela Era Assim!

Video

Screen Shot 2012-12-07 at 7.37.21 PMCheck out our very first Surfer Grrrls Brazil original music video, Ela Era Assim – with lyrics in both Portuguese and English, by super skater philosopher poet teacher Dani Antunes (Portuguese), and yours truly, me (English), with Ca’roll on drums and Alice on poesia!  Starring many of my new surfer grrrl friends in Brazil from Florianopolis, Parana, and Sao Sebastão.  Special thanks especially to Aloha Maciel, Marina Rezende, Manuella Brasil, Janaina Rezende, Luanna Ribeiro, and Maria Liza Monteleone — who have made many of my first surfing adventures in Brazil much more fun!  Big thanks also to Mike Deni, Zazo Alves, and Alice Besnard – without whom I would have no video documentation of my own surfing/skating/musical adventures.
