Every year it’s the same thing: come December a fair number of Jungle

readers escape to a country where it's summer and the temperature easily surpasses 30 degrees and where, for the new year, there are seven waves to be lept over, and a wish to be made with each jump. Sipping caipirinhas on the other side of the Atlantic, they watch reports of snowfall blanketing Europe, and smile to themselves.

But what about when it’s time to come back? How are you meant to deal with a temperature defi cit which can be greater than 40 degrees? The shock is so great, that many think of turning back… "What am I doing here anyway?", they ponder aloud, halfwayhome on the Picadilly Line.

Little by little, the temperature increases and the trauma decreases. And if one of the antidotes is getting some hot, Latin blood over here, no-one will be homesick in 2010 .

In doubt? Flip to page 24 to immerse yourself in one of the most extensive of lists of Latin and Brasilian events, set to take over the city.

Tear out the list, pin it up and make your plans... 'til December, it’s only gonna get hotter.

MARINA GASOLINA TURNS FROM FUNK CARIOCA TO 90’S ROCK

JD77_Spices.indd 12 5/2/10 08:09:10

Better known as Marina Gasolina, Marina Ribatski, 25, is the singer who led the carioca funk band Bonde do Rolê to European fame. But that was then and this is now.

Over 100 worldwide shows later, Marina left the band in 2007 and looks set to turn her back on funk altogether.

So the rumous go, the Bonde split wasn’t exactly amicable – though she's discreet about it; “Bonde is part of my past, and of course it was important to my work. But I’ve turned the page now.” End of story.

“I love funk carioca, I love freestyling… but it’s not very challenging. I want to work on other stuff, I want to do rock,” she says. “I’ve gone back to listening to loads of things from my adolescence, from the 90s. My obsession over the last couple of years has been rockabilly, garage, steady and surf music.”

Now residing permanently in London, everything seems pretty peachy – from her marriage to French Diesel:U:Music producer Louis Hautemulle, to the many collaborations with European electronic artists like Architecture in Helsinki, AcidKids and the Swedish duo Maskinen - which resulted in the music video “Dansa Med Vapen”, featuring a blonde Marina in a huge wig leading a tribe of cannibals through a forest.

In 2010, besides fi nishing her solo album (she's currently on the lookout for a record company), Marina told Jungle that she's planning some live performances in London and a tour around her native continent, South America. “For a solo tour, nothing beats starting at home” she admitted. It looks like the Brasilian stages might well be welcoming back Marina by the time summer arrives, but if we know Marina, she'll have at least a surprise or two up her sleeve.

JD77_Spices.indd 13 5/2/10 08:09:45

Their uncomprimising lycrics and hard beats might not be everyone’s cup of tea, but you have to admire Racionais MC’s.

One of Brasil’s fi rst hip-hop groups, they emerged from the peripheries of São Paulo in the late 1980’s, and have sold over a million records worldwide – even more admirable when you consider they’ve done it all whilst avoiding the mainstream media like the plague and never comprimising on the themes of poverty, racism and police violence in Brasil. Unsurprisingly, their outspokenness has caused controversy and in 1993 they were arrested for inciting violence – ironically, this act (by the police) actually did cause a riot.

They've been laying low of late, but we hear Mano Brown, Edy Rock, Ice Blue and Kl Jay have lost none of their energy on stage.

HOW TO PARTY LIKE IT'S RIO DE JANEIRO

OK, we know it's not exactly the same, but lots of places in London try to bring a bit of Brasilian Carnival's crazy

atmosphere to this cold part of the world. To help you enjoy it the most, we’ve prepared a little JD guide to what’s hot this month, from samba classes to German fancy dress.

Carnival Week Guanabara presents a whole week of partying, with the London School of Samba in charge of the warm up on the 12th in a parade on the streets of Covent Garden. Then there's plenty of great chances to ooggle at the sparkly, scantily clad dancers or just dig resident DJ Limão. Various dates and times, guanabara.co.uk

HARDBACK HOMAGE TO MUSEUM ARCHITECTURE FEATURES BRASIL

Who said museums live in the past? For decades, many have been shedding

their reputations for stale exhibition rooms and repetitive installations, becoming real attractions for education and culture. And since the 1990s, when Frank Gehry’s acclaimed Guggenheim museum was built, museum construction has become a race for vanguard, architectural trophies.

Now, a special museum edition of Taschen’s Architecture Now! book series, which comes out this month, combs the world in search of the most daring and sucessful museum projects.

The select shortlist includes one of most acclaimed, contemporary architects in the world, Brasilian Paulo Mendes da Rocha, who won the Pritzker prize for Architecture in 2006 (it’s the Nobel of Architecture). The project featured in the book is the restauration of Estação da Luz station in São Paulo, and the installation of the new Museum of the Portuguese Language in the same building, inaugurated in 2006.

The Mendes da Rocha project is an example of the new ways in which museum spaces can be appropriated, with more focus on interaction between the visitor and the archive. The architect not only had to reformulate the space, but also to revitalise the whole way in which the museum’s archive materials could be acessed – as a result, they are displayed on virtual platforms, which can be acessed from various installations in the galleries. Forget the past – this is the future.

DESIGNER SHOWS LONDON SOME LOVE AT SÃO PAULO'S HUGE FASHION WEEK RED BULL'S MUSICAL JAMBOREE IS ABOUT TO LAND IN LONDON

As São Paulo Fashion Week got underway in January, the catwalks gave fashion bloggers from

New York to Paris plenty to write home about, and two of the buzz words going around were Mário and Querioz.

The Sampã designer’s eye-catching Winter 2010 collection was inspried by a conversation he witnessed between “a punk and a gentleman” on the London tube.

Bright, jelly-and-custard primary colours, tweed trousers, Just William-esque caps and boots modelled on red-wellies were all part of the fun, as well as jeans, jeans and more jeans – courtesy of denim brand Canatiba.

Beauty artist Théo Carias based his work on London in the 1980’s, with black, heroin-chic eyes, and scuplted hair providing a cheeky contrast to stripes of red sticky-tape on the models’ faces. And then there was designer Paulo Henrique, who was on hand tattooing models with airbrush paint. “I was coordinating the shapes and colours with the British fl ag”, he explained backstage.

It turns out there’s far more to Queiroz than meets the eye. As well as a designer he’s also a fashion academic (yes, they do exist) with a post-grad, who last year launched a book entitled The Hero Unmasked – The Image of Men in Fashion, inspired in editorials from the UK men’s magazine, Arena. Fancy that!

Turns out, Red Bull isn't just an energy drink staple for students

on deadlines and workies on hangovers. As it happens, the company has also been a major music industry innovator over the last decade.

Founded back in 1998, the Red Bull Music Academy is essentially an itinerant project which settles in a different city for a month each year – Berlin, New York and São Paulo have all played host, and 2010 is London’s turn. This year, they’re setting up shop in a former pub in Bermondsey.

Kind of like a music camp, which is open to the public to drop in on, the essence of the Academy is about bringing exciting, emerging musicians together with ‘Old Masters’ in a hi-tech studio environment by day and in a host of live shows by night.

The formidable likes of Tony Allen, Sly & Robbie, and M.I.A have all been resident experts in the past, and this year’s maestros include Buraka Som Sistema’s Lil’ John.

25-year old Gabriel Nascimbeni, from São Paulo, is Brasil’s very own Red Bull participant this year – one of 60 lucky duckies chosen from hundreds of potential musicians all over the world. With his dischordant, Caetano-esque takes on bossa and samba, he’s an interesting contrast to some of the other musicians, who include Central American punksters, German house DJs, and African gospel fanatics. You can listen to goings on at the Red Bull Academy studios, read their daily paper (distributed all over London), and see a host of live shows – you can catch Gabriel playing at the Taste of Sonar night at the Roundhouse on the 5th and 6th of March.

THE BRASILIAN-BORN DESIGNER LIGHTING UP LONDON TOWN

Valéria Araújo is bursting with bright ideas - which is just the way it should

be for a designer specialising in lighting. Of all of Valéria's ideas, our favourite

design is the ‘Chinelinho’ or Little Slipper, which will come out later this year. Inspired in her own experiences as a mother, the Chinelinho is an illuminated slipper for children who can’t yet reach the light-switch to use to get to the bathroom at night, without falling over. Genius!

The talent behind the company FunkDaLata, Valéria was born in Brasil and has lived all over the country, settling in Santos, São Paulo, to study architecture. But it was design, not architecture, that has always been her real passion, and eventually she retrained after moving to London.

The result of Valéria’s Brasilian and British experiences and her natural talent for design, could be no clearer than in her latest collection of lamps entitled Circus of Freaks, which, as well as technological innovation, draw on the exploitation of human curiosity embodied in the circus, and its freakish and ever-varying content.

Valéria is also part of the Hidden Arts collective, and her pieces are sold on both the Hidden Art and the FunkDaLata sites. If you’re looking for individual pieces for yourself, check out the sites this month when some lamps are up to 50% less.

Navigating the subtle borders between jazz, samba, bossa nova and samba-rock, the compilation Far Out Jazz & Afro Funk is here to show you how all these rhythms complement each other. The collection brings together various artists on Far Out Recordings, with a notable emphasis on percussion. But this isn't run-of-the-mill stuff; it's a contemporary compilation of pulsating, world music.

Highlights include new styles from Azymuth, Marcos Valle, José Roberto Betrami and Grupo Batuque, and then the sweet vocals of Sabrina Malheiros and Troubleman, one the most innovative producers around.

The band Trio Azymuth, created in the 70s by Betrami, Alex Malheiros and Ivan Conti and recognisable by their effervescent sound, are here too, on two tracks. Don't miss Marcos Valle's deliciously light and refi ned track "Poweride".

JUNGLEDRUMS LOOKS FORWARD TOA YEAR THAT PROMISES AN ARRAY OF LATIN AND BRASILIAN WONDERS

Never before has Brasil made the headlines so often as it did last year: from politics to rapid

economic growth to cultural expression in cinema, music and the arts, the country featured all over the international press and almost always positively. London is a city that attracts thousands of Brasilians and Latin Americans each year who make it their new home, spreading their homegrown culture wherever they go.

Today you’ll find not just restaurants but also cultural spaces dedicated entirely to Brasilian and Latin culture which have been growing in profile over recent years, as well as the important cultural venues which include tropical events on their regular agendas. In this, the first issue of Jungle of the year, we’re proud to be part of this growth, by bringing to you a preview of the most important Brasilian and Latin events planned for 2010 in the UK.

Starting with football, a Brasilian national passion (and no less popular here) which dominates the year with the World Cup, Brasil then takes centre stage at Southbank Centre’s Festival Brazil, the biggest event of its kind, bringing the likes of Gilberto Gil and Maria Bethânia to British concert halls. There’s also the City of London Festival, which is focused on the Portuguese-speaking world, and Cine Fest Brasil, which returns with the year’s most important cinematographic offerings. And then there’s a whole host of exhibitions, shows, and events.

Representing our Latin neighbours are the traditional La Línea, Colombiage and Carnival Del Pueblo Festivals, as well as various dance shows and performances at Sadler’s Wells and loads of other events in London. You’d better get your socks on though, it’s all set to take off as of this month!

For any football aficionado, 2010 is a synonym for the World Cup. This year,

South Africa will receive the best in the world for FIFA’s official tournament, starting on the 11th June. The first Brasilian match is against North Korea on the 15th, but the highlight of the pre-drawn games will definitely be Brasil v Portugal, on the 25th.

Getting supporters in the mood, the Emirates Stadium is hosting a friendly between Brasil and Rep. of Ireland on the2nd March. It seems Dunga’s team is really trying to set up home here, after playing other friendly matches against Argentina, Portugal, Sweden and Italy. In any case, it’s a preview of more to come in June and it could also be a great chance to see players like Robinho, who was just loaned to Santos from Manchester City, doing their thing together with Champions League names such as Kaká and Ronaldinho - if he gets the call. The official list for the match will be out on the 9th February. Looking forward to it? You bet!

The City of London Festival chooses the Lusophone world as

the theme for its annual festival, which starts on the 21st June, giving Portuguese-speaking countriessome well-deserved attention.

In- and outdoor events include capoeira displays by Mestre Ponciano, and dance performances by Deborah Colker, Brasil’s principal contemporary dance company, plus the UK debut for the Portuguese Chamber Orchestra.

Ian Ritchie, director of the festival, talked to Jungle about how the 2010 selection fits perfectly with London’s landscapes. “The magnificent architecture of London’s Square Mile provides the venues, spaces and backdrop for the festival, which will resonate with the distinctive sounds of music and arts from the Portuguese-speaking world. There is something for everyone to enjoy”, he added.

Another intriguing Portuguese manifestation is O Baile. With events in both London (2nd April and 2nd July) and Lisbon (13th February), it’s set to become a new platform for artistic exchange between Portugal and the UK.

The Brasilian summer festival of the year, Festival Brazil is a major

celebration of Brasilian arts and culture, bringing together a diverse programme of music, visual arts, dance, literature, debates and performances at the Southbank Centre, from traditional to contemporary via the country’s international hits. The festival will run from 19th June to 5th September and is bringing great artists to town such as Maria Bethânia, one of the great Brasilian divas (and sister of Caetano Veloso, who’s also coming); Tropicália meister Gilberto Gil; Os Mutantes and Tom Zé.

But as well as concerts from renowned artists, it will also engage with the new and emerging cultural scene. Jude Kelly, the Artistic Director of the Southbank Centre says: “From the favelas and beaches to the skyscrapers of its great cities, Brasil is one of the most exciting countries on earth. Our aim is to find what is at the heart of Brasilian culture today, what the country is thinking about and talking about, and what is behind the quiet revolution of the last 20 years.”

The walls and floor of London’s Art spaces will be

brimming with Brasilian and Latin exhibits this year. Gallery 32 hosts contemporary artists Daniel Senise and Nuno Ramos, whilst painter Clarissa Cestari makes her UK debut at the Central Gallery this Easter: “Having my first solo show in London is the most important step in my career so far,” says Clarissa. Another highlight is Anna Maria Maiolino, one of the most significant artists working in Brasil today. The Camden Arts Centre will be receiving Maiolino’s works throughout April and May. Anna spoke to Jungle about the project: “The Continuum installation is a part of the series started in 1994. Around 3,000kg of clay will be modelled at the very site of the exhibition, occupying the space.” Sounds intriguing…

Brasilian architecture will also be showcased in 2010, when the dedicated Brasilian space, Swarming Futures takes a special place at the London Festival of Architecture as of June.

We can’t wait to see the Architects Build Small Spaces atthe V&A in the summer, when Brasilian architects Espaço Vazio S/A will be one of seven international practices mounting glass structures to explore notions of refuge and retreat.

Last year was a stonker for Brasilian cinema, so we’re mighty pleased

with the line up for 2010 so far. New film releases to look out for this year are Jean Charles, telling the story of the electrician mistaken for a terrorist,shot dead by the Metropolitan police in Stockwell; Lula, the son of Brasil, about the Brasilian president’s youth and how he came to be a politician; and Besouro,the slick, capoeira blockbuster choreographed by the man behind the moves in Kill Bill and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Rest assured, Jungle will keep you informed when they come out!In July the Barbican’s Brasilian cinema festival returns, and Cine Fest Brasil is also back in London in September, with a launch night at the British Academy of Films and Television Arts (BAFTA). “Over 1,500 people attended last year and we got a lot of media coverage, so we’re coming back with full force”, says Rose Chamberlain, the Cine Fest producer.

The City of London Festival we mentioned on the previous page (21st June – 9th July) will also host screenings of Brasilian films, so be sure to check for screenings on our pages nearer the time.

While his sister Maria Bethânia, and Tropicália movement contemporaries Gilberto Gil, Tom Zé

and Sérgio Dias will all be on the bill at Festival Brazil, Caetano Veloso will be once again taking over the stage at the Barbican in July, with a gig that will focus on his latest album, Zii e Zie – in which the mercurial Brasilian singer-songwriter manages to produce something akin to Radiohead-inspired sambas. One other interesting infusion comes in the form of the hard rock-rap-reggae-ska of O Rapp, at Brazilian Day.

Another Brasilian legend will reach these shores a couple of months later, but for the first time ever: Ney Matogrosso, one of the most eclectic singers in the country, takes a bow in Oxford as part of Projeto Três, which will take place again in October and also features a second UK concert for Adriana Calcanhotto. Last but not least, a special treat: Fernanda Takai, the leader of Brasilian troupe Pato Fu presents her brand new solo project, featuring songs by the late Nara Leão (one of the muses of Bossa Nova in the 60s).

Gilberto Silva

The departure last year of Brasilian player Robinho from Manchester City,

practically through the back doors, was a sure anti-climax compared to his much-celebrated arrival in the UK back in August of 2008. It also led to widespread speculation that English clubs might hesitate in future over contracting Brasilian players, especially high-profi le athletes, when the huge sums of money involved can just as easily end up in losses as they can in glory - as was the case of the £32.5 million invested by Manchester City to contract Robinho from Real Madrid.

One rare, Brasilian success story in the English League reinforces the argument for prudence: when he arrived at Arsenal in 2002 for just £4.5 million, Gilberto Silva already had a World Cup title under his belt from 2002, but he certainly wasn’t a superstar of the proportions of Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Rivaldo or Roberto Carlos.

Nonetheless, Gilberto is the fi rst to point out that no two cases are alike. In that of Robinho, Gilberto also attributes blame to the exaggerated expectations of the club and not the player alone, and is critical of the way City dealt with the situation.

Now playing for the Greek club Panathinaikos, Gilberto has fond memories of his time in the Premier League, in which he won two FA Cups and was part of the team which won the English title in 2003-4 without losing a single game. Although he

The departure last year of Brasilian player Robinho from Manchester City,

practically through the back doors, was a sure anti-climax compared to his much-celebrated arrival in the UK back in August of 2008. It also led to widespread speculation that English clubs might hesitate in future over contracting Brasilian players, especially high-profi le athletes, when the huge sums of money involved can just as easily end up in losses as they can in glory - as was the case of the £32.5 million invested by Manchester City to contract Robinho from Real Madrid.

One rare, Brasilian success story in the English League reinforces the argument for prudence: when he arrived at Arsenal in 2002 for just £4.5 million, Gilberto Silva already had a World Cup title under his belt from 2002, but he certainly wasn’t a superstar of the proportions of Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Rivaldo or Roberto Carlos.

Nonetheless, Gilberto is the fi rst to point out that no two cases are alike. In that of Robinho, Gilberto also attributes blame to the exaggerated expectations of the club and not the player alone, and is critical of the way City dealt with the situation.

Now playing for the Greek club Panathinaikos, Gilberto has fond memories of his time in the Premier League, in which he won two FA Cups and was part of the team which won the English title in 2003-4 without losing a single game. Although he

is far from being at the centre of European football at the moment, in Greece, Gilberto is one of the Brasilian coach Dunga’s confi dants on the national team and will play in London on 2nd March, when Brasil meet Ireland in the last friendly before the World Cup in South Africa.

Were you surprised with the way things ended for Robinho in English football? I don’t think anybody could have

imagined that Robinho wouldn’t do well in England. A player of his quality should have had many years ahead of him. But time in football goes by really fast and many people forget that in his fi rst season Robinho was lethal at City, scoring 15 goals, and to begin with everyone thought the club had made an excellent deal.

But in the second season his performance plummeted to the point where his only goal came in an FA Cup match against Scunthorpe United. What do you think happened?I read and heard a lot of people saying

that Robinho was not happy in Manchester and at the club. But I spoke with him several times and I never got that impression. I disagree with his reputation as a bad tempered player. I’ve lived alongside Robinho for years and he’s a calm person who respects the group. I think he was simply faced with an situation that wasn’t ideal, as well as injuring himself at theend of last year and going 3 months

without playing.Are you referring to his problems settling in, in Manchester?When Robinho arrived he already had

a price tag which made him the most expensive player in the history of English football, something which placed a lot of pressure on him. I know football and I know that not everyone in a team welcomes a newcomer with open arms, let alone one who’s getting so much attention. And City, a club which hadn’t won a trophy for a good while, believed that overnight they’d be disputing the title. Even with money, a football team takes time to establish itself. Not even Zidane or Maradona at their best would’ve arrived and done for City what the club hoped for from Robinho.

Could the way in which Robinho left City close the doors for other Brasilian players in England?I really hope not. It’s not fair to paint all

players with one brush because of one case which didn’t work out. And you shouldn’t underestimate how diffi cult it can be for players to adapt to English football. At Arsenal, for example, it was really important for me that I joined a team of experienced English players like Sol Campbell, Martin Keown and Ray Parlour, who helped me to understand how football works in England.

Campbell, as a matter of fact, has just returned to Arsenal at 35. Surprising?Yes, but not in terms of how good he is –

Gilberto Silva

he’s a player who knows a lot about the game. The surprise was the decision by the club to bring back an older athlete, when Arsenal tend to off-load players once they hit 30 (laughing). It’s an example of how the dedication of a player can be more important than their date of birth.

You left Arsenal back in 2008, lookingfor other opportunities. What if Arsene Wenger asked you back? I’d defi nitely think twice, because I have

great memories of my time at Arsenal. And I didn’t leave on bad terms, I just needed guarantees that I could play more often, and increase my chances of keeping my place in

the Brasilian squad. I left the doors open (laughing). But I’m happy at Panathinaikos, it’s a different phase in my career. We have a chance of winning the Greek league in 2009-2010, and I could play in the next Champion’s League. I’ve been close to lifting the cup before - when I was with Arsenal in 2006, we were winning 1-0 against Barcelona in the fi nal after playing with only 10 men for almost the whole game, and then we conceded two goals in the last 15 minutes. I’ve always hoped I’ll get another chance.

Contrary to expectations, your move to Greece didn’t damage your chances of playing for Brasil – to the point that

you’re the vice-captain. Why is that? I’ve never been work shy and I’m not

going to start now. The Brasilian squad is the zenith of every Brasilian player’s career, and wearing that yellow shirt is a huge privilege. God willing, I’ll be playing my third World Cup in South Africa this year. We’ve got a complicated group, with two diffi cult teams (Portugal and Ivory Coast) as well as a totally unknown team in North Korea, but Brasil should go far in the competition. The World Cup is diffi cult, it goes by quickly and it’s certainly not won before it’s even begun - as we saw in the last World Cup; Brasil were the favourites,

but did not even reach the semifi nals. Do you think Robinho will be among the 23 players who go to the World Cup? Robinho decided to go back to Brasil

precisely because he wanted more opportunities to play, which wasn’t happening at City. Robinho didn’t need to prove himself to Dunga, but to make it onto the Brasilian national squad you have to be playing regularly, and then there are players with the same positions who are looking for their chance, too. I think he’ll get back on form playing for Santos over the next few months, and if you look there’s already a success story like that with Adriano, who

left Italy with no one believing in him, and then last season was the top scorer in the Brasilian Championship and went on to take the Championship title with Flamengo. More players might come back in the next few years and that will certainly be interesting for the game in Brasil.

At 34, do you think about goingback yourself? I don’t like to speculate a lot about the

future, but playing for a Brasilian club is always a possibility, especially now that the organisation of footballs clubs is improving. But I’d rather concentrate on the challenges I’m facing right now.

was having his hair cut at home when the tremors began. At first Flávio thought it was just a passing train; he only realised what was really happening when he tried to stand up and couldn’t balance.

In the past few weeks, many such stories have been reported by the media, describing the moments that a 7.0-magnitude earthquake hit the island of Haiti on Tuesday, 12th January, 2010. Its epicentre was close to the Haitian capital Port-au-Prince; the quake was the strongest to hit the country in the last 200 years and wreaked havoc in an already impoverished and troubled nation.

As Flávio explains, it was difficult to tell how much damage had been done to begin with: “People went out to the streets. I saw a cloud of dust engulf the city and there were people running frantically and others being carried away. At that moment I was completely lost and I didn’t have a clue what

was having his hair cut at home when the tremors began. At first Flávio thought it was just a passing train; he only realised what was really happening when he tried to stand up and couldn’t balance.

In the past few weeks, many such stories have been reported by the media, describing the moments that a 7.0-magnitude earthquake hit the island of Haiti on Tuesday, 12th January, 2010. Its epicentre was close to the Haitian capital Port-au-Prince; the quake was the strongest to hit the country in the last 200 years and wreaked havoc in an already impoverished and troubled nation.

As Flávio explains, it was difficult to tell how much damage had been done to begin with: “People went out to the streets. I saw a cloud of dust engulf the city and there were people running frantically and others being carried away. At that moment I was completely lost and I didn’t have a clue what

to do.” In situations like these, international organisations and, more commonly, NGO’s are the first to respond, offering vital humanitarian aid and medical care.

In this case, the work done by the Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF, or Doctors Without Borders) - who have been present in Haiti since 1991, dealing with the consequences of urban violence - was fundamental. Immediately after the earthquake, a team of specialists took to the streets to analyse the structural damage that had occurred and to check where help was needed. “All of the hospitals we were based in suffered damage, which meant transferring the old patients to makeshift tents set up outside the hospital grounds, where they and new patients could be treated”, explains Simone Rocha, Director of MSF in Brasil.

The same situation occured in hospitals and medical centres all around the area of Port-au-Prince. The next step was to set up better equipped hospital units, as many

victims were in urgent need of surgery and other delicate procedures. “Because all the international MSF teams already based in Haiti were affected by the earthquake themselves, the organisation decided to send them home and dispatch a new team to assist. A team of four were sent over from Brasil, consisting of two psychologists, a surgeon and a nurse”, says Simone.

More than ten days after the earthquake, MSF were still operating on up to 25 patients per day. As the rubble clears, and the dust settles, they are now faced with other problems such as a shortage of hospital beds where patients can recover, as well as many victims still awaiting surgery.

With severe food and water shortages, and the Red Cross estimating a catastrophic death toll of between 40,000 and 50,000, there has never been a greater need for the world to come to Haiti’s aid. Why not help by making a donation directly, or attending a fundraising event this month?

SLEEPY FISHING VILLAGE TURNED HOT DESTINATION, ITACARÉ NOW NEEDS TO BE PRESERVED

When you ask a Baiano about Itacaré you are met with a wistful and distant

longing in their eyes and a big smile. Having witnessed the picturesque paradise fi rst hand, I can fi nally see why. Cradled by the lush green forestry of the Atlantic Rainforest and renowned for its production in cocoa, Itacaré is a small village south of Salvador, on Bahia's coast. This spectacular landscape boasts waterfalls and over 15 glorious beaches, and its highly preserved ecosystem

and sustainable credentials have madeit a focal point of the country’s boomin eco tourism.

My journey began in the main city of Ilhéus, where the pace of life was welcomingly slower in comparison to the high energy of Salvador. A coach from the main bus station to Itacaré takes you there in just over two hours. It was a tranquil ascent into Bahia’s rural interior where homes constructed amongst the dense

forestry and jaw-dropping views of the ocean provide a visual treat.

The conscientious Tourist | The antiquated feel of Itacaré’s historical centre contrasts with the numerous shops, modern bars and restaurants that have been introduced as part of the wave of new development and investment over the last fi ve years; just off the main street a community of pousadas accommodate the

thousands of visitors that fl ock to the region.Vira Canoa, where I stayed, was a

delightful gem. Its bamboo structure has been deliberately constructed in harmony with the island’s vegetation. Everywhere is fi lled with light and the smell of greenery. An inside/outside ’zen’ space with a combined lounge and bar area opens out onto palm tree-lined gardens. Vira Canoa is one of many local businesses that are part of the Carbon Free Tourism Programme set up to protect

Vira Canoa is one of many local businesses that are part of the Carbon Free Tourism Programme set up to protect

the area, whereby companies pay for seedlings planted to offset their footprint. The money goes to the Social Carbon Fund to support environmental conservation, human development and advancement of the area.

The pousada organised for a guide to give me a personal tour of all the special places that Itacaré had to offer. To my surprise, Raí, was a 19 year-old boy from the local area who knew the town and forestry like the back of his hand. His little anecdotes and

recollections of the town’s landmarks gave a nice personal touch. One of the highlights was the original church of São Miguel built by the Jesuits at the beginning of the 18th century, where he and most of the town's inhabitants have been christened or got married. Just opposite the church is a bay where fi shing boats are moored. By day the water reaches just below street level but by night, when the tide has receded, you will often fi nd the local children playing football on the sand.

Natural Harmony | Our fi rst main stop on the tour was Concha beach. It was about 11am, still quiet and yet to be descended upon by tourists, so I had a chance to dip my toe in the emerald waters before moving on to Ribeira and Resende beaches. These were equally chilled spots where capoeira classes often take place, usually organised through your pousada. There are lots of organised group trails

A little off the beaten track was the base for Casa do Boneco - a social project set up for young people to engage with arts, culture and education and to help them excel in all aspects of their lives.

through the forests, as well as visits to Itacarezinho - the eco-friendly sea turtle project on offer. There is warm weather all year round and in September - Brasil’s autumn - the weather was heavenly and hot, so trekking in the forest requires sun cream and insect repellent! But if you fancy just roving around the landscape you can rent a bicycle for the day from about £15.

Oitizeiro were part of the efforts to continue to sustain the local community and encourage the preservation of the land.

Jorge wanted to take me to a small island where he is building the equivalent of Jamie Oliver’s Fifteen restaurant - which will be an addition to the tourist landscape and provide a catering training school for young locals, as well as a bar and restaurant for visitors to dine. This secret excursion also gave me a chance to see and cross the famous Rio de Contas river, which was integral to Itacaré’s role as a port in Bahia’s maritime history.

In a 20-minute canoe ride across amazingly calm waters, I was lucky enough to spot dolphins and other unusual fi sh. These waters are said to be the origin of life. Of course, no paradise would be complete without its beaches, and for sun worshippers Itacaré has

an abundance of these, adorned with coconut groves - still unspoilt and incredibly beautiful. Sandy beaches run around the coast, and the more deserted natural beaches of Jeribucaçu, Engenhoca, Tiririca and Prainha are favourites among surfers, where the stronger waters offer great waves.

Itacaré is a tranquil, welcoming and breathtaking wonderland that has fostered the joyful and unapologetically laid back temperament of its people who live in total harmony with their natural surroundings. Its beauty as a holiday destination is its somewhat split personality - by day a serene setting promises all the exoticism of Brasil’s interior with wildlife and vegetation, yet by night the bars and restaurants are full and vibrant with that characteristic Bahian party spirit, which is always up for the taking.

jd shows you how to whip up a carnival 'capeta' cocktail

Allow me to introduce the capeta, one of the most popular carnival-time

drinks of Bahia. If you’re wondering what kind of drink it is, let the name do the talking; the nearest translation for capeta is ‘Devil’s Tipple’. Still confused? Well, adorning the streetside shacks that selll them during the world’s biggest street party, you’ll often see a sign saying “One capeta, two capeta, three capota” – capota meaning to “stack it” or pass out.

That said, it’s also an energy bomb, which makes it the perfect drink to keep you up all night and dancing in the streets.

If you can’t find a Bahian street shack in your neck of the woods, here’s what you need to make the perfect capeta:

1) One cup of vodka or cachaça2) 1/2 can of condensed milk3) 1 tablespoon of guaraná powder 4) 1 tablespoon of cinnamon5) 1 tablespoon of chocolate powder6) A handful of pineapple chunksAdd all of the ingredients together with

ice in a blender until smooth, and then enjoy in serious moderation. JD Ana Naomi

Permita-me apresentar o ‘capeta’, uma das bebidas mais populares na Bahia (nordeste

do Brasil) na época do Carnaval. Se você está imaginando que tipo de bebida é esta, deixe que o nome fale por si.

Decorando as barracas que vendem a bebida nas calçadas durante a maior festa de rua do mundo estão cartazes dizendo “um capeta, dois capetas, três capota”.

Por outro lado, é também uma bomba energética, que faz dela a bebida perfeita para te manter acordado e dançando nas ruas ao longo da noite.

Se estiver difícil encontrar uma barraca baiana perto de você, siga esta lista do que é preciso para fazer o perfeito ‘capeta’:

1) Um copo de vodca ou cachaça2) ½ lata de leite condensado3) 1 colher de sopa de pó de guaraná

(encontrado facilmente em mercadinhos brasileiros em Londres)

4) 1 colher de sopa de canela5) 1 colher de sopa de chocolate em pó6) Pedaços de abacaxiMisture todos os ingredientes com gelo até a

bebida ficar cremosa. Beba e tente não capotar! JD

Yes, 2010 really is here now, but that’s no reason to miss out on celebrating the good things 2009 brought us. One of them was delivered to London just before the year ended: Spiritual Bar, a place specialising in caipirinhas (and lots of them!) opened its doors on the 1st of December in Camden Town.

In charge of the kitchen is Pietro Rocha, former chef at Guanabara and previously at the famous Copacabana Palace in Rio. He’s the one to blame for the prime cuts of South American steak (£11 or £12, depending on the cut) with luscious garlic mushrooms and roasted sweet potatoes (£1.50 each). Here’s how his dinner system works: customers choose from aubergine, grilled salmon or sirloin steaks, among others, then mix and match with the sides, if and as many as they want. Quite democratic.

If you're not up to a whole meal, there’s also the option of nibbles, like the melting beef pot (with gravy, onions and bread, perfect to share, ₤£7), which are great for the ground floor, with lounge music during the week and DJs on Fridays and Saturdays (check the full calendar of events on their website).

And saving the best for last, the stars of the house: the delicious caipirinhas made with real fruit, such as lemon, berries and passion fruit will make you a complete and devoted fan of Spiritual, not least of all because from 5pm to 7pm, Mon-Fri, they only cost £3.

Now, that's what we call a happy hour!

Recently opened in Farringdon, Central London, A La Cruz is a very traditional Argentine restaurant and a great suggestion for barbecue lovers: it's the only place in the UK with an asador, a fire pit surrounded by metal crosses used in Argentina to cook whole sides of meat. Made from wood, the grill gives the meat a special flavour, which is quite different from meat grilled on charcoal. So you can see their “unique selling point” while waiting for your food (it can be difficult for those who have trouble looking at raw meat, but it’s interesting nonetheless).

As a starter, you could try a choice of empanadas (Argentine style filled pastries) such as beef, spinach and ricotta, ham and cheese or sweetcorn. They're pretty tasty and will whet your appetite enough to leave you looking forward to the main course.

There's also the morcilla (grilled pork black pudding with onion), or the molleja (grilled sweetbreads), served with lemon wedges.

For a full meal, we'd recommend A La Cruz Tradicional (£24 with sweetbreads/£20 without, per person), a selection of barbecue containing boneless flank, black pudding, pork sausages, short-ribs and other assorted cuts. It's really filling and you’ll get the chance to try a wide variety of meats.

If you still have room for dessert, panqueques are the way to go: filled either with berries, rosehip, sugar and lemon or dulce de leche – our absolute favourite! – they’ll make you go to heaven with each bite.

INTERN ON FORMHeyy, remember me? I worked with JungleDrums for a week last summer :) Just wanted to let you know, once again, how greatful I am for everything I learnt at JungleDrums. I am now the editor of the middle school newspaper and in charge of starting a senior school paper in January :) Hope all is well x.Priyanka Mogul, via facebook

Great stuff Priyanka of course we remember you! It's always wonderful to hear what our interns and work experience students get out of their time with us and how they take this forward. Good luck with your newfound duties! JD

ONLY ONLINEHi JD, I always pick up Jungle in cafes etc. I'm currently living outside of London and needed a Brasilian 'man with a van' as they are cheaper than British lol I googled this on the web and found the JD competitions! Love Brasil soooooo much! TchauDominique Smithson, email

Hey Dominique, yes we sometimes take Jungle to cities beyond London, and we're always open to suggestions and good ideas! JD

NOCTURNAL KICKSThanks for your reply Jungle!! I'm enjoying the site immensely, when I should be sleeping.Diane Bures, email

Good to hear it Diane - a lot of lack of sleep goes into bringing JD to you every month! JD

WELCOME HOMEHey Jungle,I've just stepped off the plane in Heathrow, and from the corner of my eye I spy a fresh lookin cover of JungleDrums. Marvlus : )Andy Lambert, SMS

A FULL HOUSEHey JD team, I'd like to express my immense gratitude for last November's article on our Brasilian dance spectacle: 'Brazil: Rhythms & Colours', at Guanabara - we had an amazing response! It was such a success that we've been offered another date on February 24th. See you there!Um grande abraço,Gladys Cavalcante, email

That's great, glad to hear that you've been invited back for more, and you're welcome for the support - we seem to say this evey month but this is the reason for which Jungle was founded, to showcase Brasilian culture. Hope that the date in January went well and we'll see you at the next one! JD

A TRUE ALL-ROUNDERJungleDrums is giving me lots of inspiration for what to do on my birthday, I think the magazine is very fresh, to the point, lots of good info on going out, very well designed and a good balance of text/images/ads. All round pretty cool!Tory Lyne-Pirkis, email

How splendid, can't really better that! People must think we make these letters up. JD

What do you do for a living?I came to study – you

absolutely have to be fl uent in English in my area of work

How did you fi nd out about Jungle?Some of my friends told

me about it, and then I picked one up in a Brasilian restaurant in Leicester Square and loved it!

Why do you read Jungle?I like the way the maga-

zine talks about Brasil, and what we have to offer in the way of culture and tourism.

What's your favourite section in the magazine? Destinations, because

there’s always somewhere that I’ve either been or really want to visit.

Do you have a favourite article or feature? I really liked the article

on Carnival in Olinda and Recife, and the one about Maracaipe beach because I’m from Pernambuco and I love to see things about my home reaching a wider audience.

What is your favourite place in Brasil? Jericocoara. Although

I’m a Pernambucana and we have beautiful beaches too, Jericocoara is really unforgettable. I go back there whenever I can.

When you hear the word 'Brasil', what's the fi rst thing that springs to mind?Incredible landscapes,

wonderful weather and happy people.
