It comes to a point where you're gonna be like, this [MASKED] already knew how to samba. I don't really gotta teach nobody nothing. I'm probably gonna pretend like I don't know what I'm doing, 'cause I don't wanna I feel like I'm too advanced and ahead of Marcus and Mack and Fonzo. Like, what fun is that? Why would I be going? You know, I gotta make them feel comfortable. So at any point in time, I might miss a step. So they'd be like, "Ah, he can't samba either." Little do they know.
The main reason why we create Carnival Experience was actually to finance a samba school for children called Impolos da Grande Rio, which is a nonprofit organization. They have several projects the kids along the year, not only involving Carnival, but also give them supported education, teaching them other languages, scholarship, helping university for the grown kids. I started, I was about 9 years old. Now I'm 26, even though I look 15, you know? And that's why I speak English. I also speak Spanish. I speak Italian because I make part of this social project. So thank you very much for coming and keeping helping us to continue with other kids, right?
