Brazilian circus
In part two, of this week’s show we go to the Brazilian city of Salvador Bahia, where the circus has become much more than entertainment. The big top of the Circus Picolino is as close as many young people will get to a classroom but the lessons learned here are transforming lives. And we report on a new sound making waves throughout Tanzania. In Dar Esalam, the country’s biggest city, Bongo Flava is the beat from the street and the rhythm of the times.

“Based in an imaginary small town called “Lapataganj” (means a lost place), the story is inspired from the writings of Sharad Joshi-who was an eminent Hindi satirist. His wide range of work has highlighted the bitter truth of our society with a satirical punch. These stories while making us laugh; also make us empathize with the situations we face in our daily lives. “Lapataganj” is a town in some part of India which has been long forgotten by the system. The town struggles daily for basic facilities yet the people residing there are the happiest of the lot. The show captures the spirit of a common man to lead a happy life against all odds.”
