Aside from the stage where the Brazilians were partying last time, they also had a stage set on a barge that was moored near a sort of a natural amphitheater built into the harbour shore. How does this work, you ask? Look:
While not all the acts were up the standards (in particular, the DJs that tried hard to represent themselves as the cool gangstas of the Latin Rap community, while sucking at DJing...*sigh*), overall this was amazing for a (free) street show.
I have some photos, but really this was all about the action, so...I got videos! :) (please forgive the quality, it was dark, crowded, and all I got to shoot videos with is my old Canon SD200)
This first the first time for me seeing Capoeira performed live. For those who have seen Ocean's Twelve, this is the Brazilian martial arts/dance the Toulour was performing to get through the lasers. So, without further ado, Grupo Capoeira Brasil:
Really not much to say here, they were spectacular. The first and third videos were really more about showing off rather than showing legitimate 2-person Capoeira game, but the end result is not less spectacular.
On Sunday night, the treat was some very well-choreographed tango, performed by the winners and the runners-up of the Australian Dancing with the Stars.
The winners.
The name is Bond. James Bond.

I liked the first tango dancing video the best.. but maybe that's just because your camera angle was perfect to see right up her skirt! WOO!
