Batmacumba feat. Romero de Mangueira

Our Brazilian institution gets festive with a samba dance explosion from the incredible Romero de Mangueira of Rio's world-famous Mangueira Samba School.

Last year De Mangueira hosted a huge dance class at Sadler's Wells Carnival event, broadcast live on the BBC. This month he joins Batmacumba resident DJ Cliffy to demonstrate the true beauty of samba dance.

In the cinema we have a short films selection box, a round-up of the best from 2007.
