At a stadium in Auckland, close to a hundred people including a large number from the Brazilian community, have gathered to celebrate a Batizado, a graduation of sorts, of new capoeiristas. Maestros and instructors from Australia are here too, and coloured belts are being awarded to visibly excited capoeiristas. For Rio de Janeiro-born Leandro Vasquez, this is the big day he has been helping to organise for his capoeira school, Abada Capoeira. Vasquez has been involved with the school for over a year as an instructor. He talks to Kadambari Raghukumar in this episode about how this cultural treasure from his home country is becoming popular all the way here in New Zealand.
