Integral House Fundraiser Nov 5 2009

Here's some pics from a fundraiser for Cabbagetown. Integral Hosue is in Rosedale. It was designed by a mathematics professor who made a pile from a calculus text he wrote.

Maria Rita - Não deixa o samba morrer

Samba all the way, beautiful as Maria Rita is beautiful. Look at the instruments: cavaquinho, cuíca, tamborim. Listen to this rhythm, look at her dancing: this is Brazil.

Vapor Barato - Gal Costa e Zeca Baleiro

Wrenching my heart for more than 30 years... I guess it is appropriate for the moment.

Gal Costa sings Vapor Barato, a song by Jards Macalé and Wally Salomão. The second song is Zeca Baleiro's, much newer.

"Oh, yes, I am so tired, but not to say, I don't believe in you anymore.../ With my red trousers, my general's coat, full of rings/ I am going down all these streets/ I'm gonna take that old ship// I don't need much money, thank god, and I don't care honey// Oh my honey baby, baby, honey baby...

Oh yes, I am so tired, but not to say that I am going away/ Maybe I'll come back, someday I'll come back, who knows/ but I want to forget you, I need to/ Oh my great, oh my little, oh my great obsession/ Oh my honey baby..."

(the music starts at 53 seconds of the video)

If this picnic was great, imagine the next! It's on the 19th of June at Riverdale Park.

Go to Broadview Stn. and take the 504 or 505 Steetcars , get off at Langley(about 5 stops)

There is a roadway going west down into the park, to a utilities building with washrooms.I think this would be a good place to meet. This building also meets up with the East end of the walking bridge that spans the Don Valley Pkwy. You can get to this bridge on the west side, by walking through the park at the east end of Winchester St.

Also you can take the College/Carlton Streetcar East along Gerrard to Broadview, and walk about a block north on Broadview, to the roadway I was speaking of.(opposite Langley Ave.@ Broadview) There is parking on most of the side Streets. (You can also get that same streetcar West from Main Station. )
