On Saturday, May 11, the Kearny Schools Multicultural Committee dove into the rhythmic heartbeat of Brazil through a captivating journey through the vibrant tapestry of Brazilian culture. The stage came alive with the pulsating beats of samba, the graceful movements of African dancers, and the electrifying energy of capoeira. From the infectious rhythms of percussionists to the mesmerizing agility of capoeiristas, the Brazilian Cultural Presentation was a celebration of diversity and unity.
