One Favela, Brazil's top hip hop elite and one sun burned asian!

MANO BROWN and the Racionais MCs
Quadra da G.r.e.s. Unidos da Vila Kennedy, Brazil

Last night I met up with a local from City of God, Bruno, who brought me to a favela for a hip hop concert with the elite rappers of Brazil, one of them the very famous Mano Brown!

I didn't know what to expect, but I just said fuck it and went with him. I don't speak portugesee, nor does he speak english, so we spoke through google translate and some body language and it worked out pretty good!


Thank you Bruno for an awesome night and thank you Lonnie for hooking me up with Bruno!

The zoom project, by Nokia

Well you all know by now that I'm in Rio de Janeiro and I can only thank Nokia for that!
I'm participating in a campaign called The Zoom project. It's freakin awesome, because beside sending me to Rio and paying for the whole show, they gave me the new 41 megapixel camera phone, the Nokia Lumia 1020!

The project is pretty simple, I'm here in Rio and you can help me decide where to go and what to photograph all you have to do is to tweet me on twitter @kennethnuigen and I'll do what I can to show you... That's what I call instant news!

Check out this awesome intro clip about The Zoom Project!



If you still don't know how to participate in the campaign, maybe this video can get you started?



Feel free to tweet me and give me some ideas and I'll see if I can make it happen:-)
