station. At this train station she expressed how important this
historical spot was for their scene. This is where hip hop started for
them basically. After watching movies such as Beat Street, Style Wars,
and many others they came here and tried their best to imitate what
they saw. They didn't know the names of these moves so of course they
made their own names. So of course through the years they got better.
There were mainly 2 cyphers. One for the experienced and one for the
beginners.
Once a year they had a major event here where all the bboys from all
over Brazil would ce and jam at this very train station. She said
close to a 1000 probably. See where they would dance was in an open
area that was kinda outside. So it's not like our typical station.
Lol, imagine that in one of our stations. Cops would break that up
real quick. Well that's what eventually happend. Cops finally broke it
up one year and that was that. Just like in the U.S. Our dance is
looked down upon.
For their event Master Crews they were allowed to take photos to
promote their event, but last minute the government turned around and
denied their request, not allowing the images to be used. So this is
their hip hop landmark that was taken away from them. And it is their
dream to bring back the days where they can do an event there or even
just to dance there.
So this was a lil something about the Brazilian bboy scene. When
traveling I find out about their history. So expect all that in my
blogs to come. Yeeaaaaaa Booooooy!<br>
