Jamaram in Tremembé
Arriving in Itacare three days prior to the event, German opening concert headliners, Jamaram took every opportunity to get involved with local people. Traveling the 40 minutes from Itacare to the remote and isolated Tremembé, the sound crew were dropped off while the band checked out an incredible waterfall tucked away in the middle of primary Atlantic Rain Forest. Tremembé, a very poor rural village with only dirt roads and Cacao drying in front of every house, were then treated to an impromptu surprise semi-acoustic performance by the band in the centre of the village that brought the entire town out. Almost 100 kids were dancing to Jamaram stylee, when a Capoera crew appeared out of no where and started a dance in the middle of the crowd. Lead singer Tom left the mike to join in with the tribe while the band took over vocals. The night ended, when the Mayor of Tremembé also appeared out of no where, took the mike and thanked the band on behalf of the whole town. It was one of the most moving experiences of the whole Breathe/Respira Brazil event, even if it was two days before it's official start.
