It is an important rite of passage. Often\, a student may receive a new nickname that they become known by\, in the Capoeira World. In the past\, students would train for many months before they set foot in the Roda. Today\, although students may have experience playing inside the Roda\, the Batizado is considered their first real experience of the Jogo de Capoeira (Game of Capoeira). It is the official welcome and blessing. Another important aspect of the Batizado is the ‘Troca de Cordelî’  (the exchange of belts). Mestres play one or more games with the older students and acknowledge their achievements by awarding them higher belts.

Garvey West Coast Book Tour DESCRIPTION:WorldBeat Cultural Center is pleased to welcome Dr. Julius W. Garvey\, son of Marcus Mosiah Garvey to WorldBeat Center as part of his West Coast Book Tour for the revised edition of “The Philosophy and Opinions of Marcus Garvey”.  \nSurgeon and medical professor Dr. Julius W. Garvey was born on September 17\, 1933 in Kingston\, Jamaica to United Negro Improvement Association founder Marcus Garvey and activist Amy Jacques Garvey. The younger of two sons\, Garvey was raised in Jamaica. He graduated from Wolmer’s Trust High School for Boys in Kingston in 1950; and then earned his B.S. degree from McGill University in Montréal\, Canada in 1957\, and his M.D.\, C.M. degree from McGill University Faculty of Medicine in 1961. \nThe late leader’s son\, Dr. Julius W. Garvey\, has been leading the charge to have his father’s name cleared after the elder Garvey was convicted of crimes that the family solidly argues he did not commit. \nIn an exclusive interview with theGrio\, Dr. Garvey explained the finer details of the Justice4Garvey movement\, which has the stated goal of seeking exoneration for Marcus Garvey. The elder Garvey was born Aug. 17\, 1887\, in St. Ann’s Bay\, Jamaica\, and established the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League (UNIA-ACL) in 1914 in his home country before moving the headquarters to New York. \nIn 1923\, Garvey was convicted of mail fraud in connection to the Black Star Line program he established as a pathway to economic equality for Black people. Garvey was imprisoned and later deported\, and his surging movement in America was stalled as he never again returned to the states. The Garvey family maintains that the charges against the leader were trumped up in order to halt any momentum that Garvey gained in the fight for civil rights. \n In a statement coinciding with the most recent resolution to pardon Marcus Garvey\, Rep. Clarke said\, “I call for the President [Biden] to exonerate Mr. Garvey on the grounds that the case against him was politically motivated\, unsubstantiated\, and unjust.” URL:https://www.worldbeatcenter.org/event/dr-julius-w-garvey-west-coast-book-tour/ LOCATION:WorldBeat Center\, 2100 Park Blvd\, San Diego\, 92101\, United States ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.worldbeatcenter.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/5-x-7.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20221123T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20221123T230000 DTSTAMP:20240329T012304 CREATED:20220906T213136Z LAST-MODIFIED:20221123T170821Z UID:38849-1669230000-1669244400@www.worldbeatcenter.org SUMMARY:Native American Month Celebration DESCRIPTION:Come celebrate Native American Month with a blessing and drum circle by Tim Red Bird and the Red Warriors   \nAlso with us King Yellowman and Alika (with DJ Mykol Orthodox) \nAbout King Yellowman \nKing Yellowman has an incredible history in Reggae music. His upbringing at the Maxfield Home orphanage in Kingston and being albino in Jamaica were two obstacles he overcame and went on to be (at one time) the biggest reggae artist since Bob Marley. After winning a talent contest at Tastee Patties in Kingston\, Yellow went on to excite reggae crowds all over Jamaica and the rest of the world with his boastful and sometimes bodacious lyrics. His ability to ride rhythm and excite a crowd made Yellow an instant hit in Jamaica. After surgery an extended leave of absence from the record industry\, Yellowman began his comeback with the song “Blueberry Hill”\, and his career was re-launched. His first album for RAS came from producer Phillip ‘Fatis’ Burrell and was called “Yellow Like Cheese”. Coincidentally this was the start of a long and fruitful relationship with RAS and Yellowman and also RAS and ‘Fatis’ and his exterminator production. Yellowman has always been very professional to work with and always a respectful and reliable human being. He has managed to outlive his predicted fate of death and his performances are incredibly lively as he seems to have an unlimited amount of stage energy. We can only hope for the best for Yellowman. He has continued his hard work and his devotion to his family is to be complimented.  \nAbout Alika \nAlika (born Alicia Dal Monte Campuzano in Montevideo\, Uruguay and raised in Buenos Aires\, Argentina) is one of the most important artists in South America right now garnering millions of hits on Youtube…Alika’s latest album\, Mi Palabra\, Mi Alma (My Word\, My Soul)\, is just that: Reggae drums and Hip-Hop beats that help her bare her soul in rhymes and music. “El Don\,” a cumbia-infused Hip-Hop track featuring Argentine rapper La Liga made its worldwide debut last year as part of the soundtrack to the popular video game “Grand Theft Auto V”. \n  \n  URL:https://www.worldbeatcenter.org/event/king-yellowman-and-kreema-live/ LOCATION:WorldBeat Center\, 2100 Park Blvd\, San Diego\, 92101\, United States CATEGORIES:Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.worldbeatcenter.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Native-month-flyer-size.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20221129 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20221130 DTSTAMP:20240329T012304 CREATED:20221129T191733Z LAST-MODIFIED:20221130T013859Z UID:39473-1669680000-1669766399@www.worldbeatcenter.org SUMMARY:Giving Tuesday DESCRIPTION:On Tuesday\, November 29th\, 2022\, the WorldBeat Cultural Center is participating in #GivingTuesday\, a global day dedicated to giving.Since its founding in 2012\, #GivingTuesday has inspired giving around the world\, resulting in greater donations\, volunteer hours\, and activities that bring about real change in communities.
