This is a great chance to see Mafua's full set, help a deprived group that engage a whole community from Olinda, now completing 4 years without a workspace its a hard reality to see such wealth in culture as part of this group and its legacy but no commitment from the goverment in order to give a permanent support, so we do what we can to give them a push!

Would be great to count with you in this, if not available or out of town you can donate or get the download on paypal links!
