The concert on Saturday night was a gift from Stefano Bottoni to the students of the ICBIE and the Ribeira community. Fred Menendez and his band brilliantly accompanied Stefano’s performance, even though they had never played together before. Their show was yet another fine example of the ICBIE’s outreach, merging foreign artists with the local population: even Mestre Pedro, his daughter Patrizia and a group of his capoeira troupe attended.
