Forrózeira Risk more than others think is safe. Care more than others think is wise. Dream more than others think is practical. Expect more than others think is possible.

In November 2010, I and my twin sister backpacked in Brazil for one month to discover the music and dance of this rhythm-rich country. On our return, I started to learn Forró and Samba in Munich and Bengü joined a Capoeira group in Istanbul. Ever since, I travel around the world for Forró festivals, and Bengü for Capoeira rodas. Wherever we travel to, we seek to connect to related communities and dance. Our love for Brazil and passion for its musical flavors are the ultimate reasons for us to apply for this scholarship.
Since childhood, our dream was to travel around the world and be the twin presenters of a travel program. We made our first amateur travel film for Brazil in Turkish which you see some parts in our video. I shot, and edited a promotional film for the Brazilian music duo I managed in Munich (http://goo.gl/BG7Ky). Our biggest dream is to make a documentary series of the world music festivals, Rio Carnival being on top of our list. Nothing can stop us when we travel together. We are up for any kind of adventure together and we love meeting new people. We both speak many languages including Portuguese which we were able to fluently communicate within 15 days of travel.
