On the 29th of september 2007, all of the Positivo team went back to Maxixe’s ‘Escola Secundaria 29 de setembro’. There was a big party for the school’s birthday. We officially launched the song ‘Uma noite de prazer’ in a classroom with all workshop participants. During the afternoon, students improvised dance shows and capoeira demonstrations. At the end of the day, Helio D and the 40 pupils forming Positivo group from Maxixe’s ‘Escola 29 de setembro’ presented the song through play-back performance to school officials, teachers and all students.

Workshops
During the days following Homoine and Maxixe’s workshops, we tested the two new Positivo songs ‘Vamos-la’ and ‘Uma noite de prazer’ in bars and discos. The more young people dance to the song, the more motivation we get. We also gave a few encouraging shows in different public places of Tofo Beach to test the reaction of locals and tourists.
Video presentations of Homoine and Maxixe projects are currently being produced in Inhambane by David Charley.
