Music happenings this weekend

We're pretty bad about keeping up with events around the neighborhood (with a toddler, we don't get out much ourselves). But here are a couple of family-friendly events you may want to check out:

On Friday at the Oriental Pavillion in Prospect Park, Raizes do Brasil Capoeira Brooklyn will be holding a Maculele workshop at 10 or 10:30 am.  Maculele is an "Afro Brazilian dance and martial art  (thanks, Wikipedia).

On Saturday, Harry Potter geeks unite! Harry and the Potters, a goofy tribute band beloved my many, is playing out in front of the Brooklyn Public Library at Grand Army Plaza. The show starts at 3:30PM but be prepared to step on a bunch of third graders if you want to get a good view. (Rain date is September 27.)  Or, if you're curious about this band of Potters and can't make it to the Saturday show, there's always Josh Koury's documentary about Harry Potter fan subculture, We Are Wizards, available via Netflix.
