Well…

 

This is something I’ve been thinking about for a while now, and I came to a conclusion.

This blog will be about whatever I WANT it to be about.

O.K., I’m kidding (well, sort of). What this blog will be about is Capoeira Angola of course, but also it will be about the many areas of life that Capoeira Angola has it’s feet in.

In the ABOUT page, I typed that Capoeira has many faces.

It’s a dance, but it’s much more than that.

It’s a deadly martial art, but it’s much more than that.

It’s singing and playing music, but it’s much more than that.

It’s a philosophy, but it’s much more than that

It’s Art, but it’s much more than that.

so, this blog will be revolving around all of Capoeira’s many faces, Dance, music, self-defense, social justice, etc. And no, not everything I post will be about Capoeira Angola. In fact most of it won’t be, at least on the surface. But, they WILL be about  the many aspects of Capoeira Angola, and and the many issues surrounding it.

I want to end this post with a capoeira song I first heard just yesterday, and I fell in love with…

 

 

 

 

Well, I thought this would be a good time to create this blog, since today is a special day for me.

What makes today so special, you ask? Well, Today marks the start of another year training in Capoeira!

 

That’s right. Some years ago, I started learning Capoeira Angola in Griffith Park. The Second reason today is so special is that we of the capoeira Collective are gonna have our very first Monthly Roda!

Hopefully, this roda will be the 1st of many, and will become a institution, where Angoleiros from all over L.A. and beyond can come, and be a pat of.

O.K.

I’ll end this blog post with this video. Sometimes when we play music, or when we practice the movements, curious people come by to watch or listen, maybe play an instrument, and ask questions about what we do.

On this day, which was a couple of weeks ago, a man who was part-timing as a security guard for the summer concerts currently going on in the greek theater, walked up to us with a camera, and asked to film us…

And perhaps, come up with a cool name for it.
