On recent trip to the Northeast of Brazil, in the State of Bahia, where time and people move a little slower. Sometimes that's a good thing so you can slow down your own pace and relax.

Well,the Stadium was pack out the other day and tourist were all out taking in the sites around Brasilia. While shooting with my friend and fellow photographer  Oswaldo, we came across this friendly Samba Troupe greeting tourist and having their photos taken with them. I didn't realize at time that they are friends Oswaldo, as he told me that they perform in and around Brasilia all the time and they are one of the official Samba dance groups from Brasilia, that all the local embassies hire for special occasions and visiting dignitary's.
