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

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…

WELCOME TO MY WEBSITE!!!

This is the post excerpt.

In this website are my thoughts about this amazing way of life called Capoeira Angola, and the many issues of life surrounding it.

It is my honor to share the art of CAPOEIRA ANGOLA with you. This vibrant and dynamic practice is a beautiful and rich art form that encompasses far more than just physical movements; it intertwines music, dance, and martial arts into a single expressive experience. It carries with it a deep historical and cultural significance, deeply rooted in the traditions of African heritage and Brazilian culture. Through every kick, spin, and rhythm, Capoeira tells stories of resilience, community, and celebration.

Creating this website is a labor of love, and I hope it serves as an engaging and informative resource for anyone wanting to delve deeper into the world of Capoeira, a unique blend of martial arts, dance, music, and culture that originated in Brazil.

I truly hope you find the content enriching and enjoy your time here as much as I enjoyed crafting it. AXE!

NA BEIRA DO MAR (aprendi a jogar)

post
Sereia do mar – Janaína

Na beira do mar
é na beira do mar
aprendi a jogar
capoeira de angola
na beira do mar

Na beira do mar
é na beira do mar
aprendi a jogar
capoeira de angola
na beira do mar

Vou m’embora que è de noite
tão cedo não venho cá
Se iá-iá quiser me ver
Bote seu navio no mar

Na beira do mar
é na beira do mar
aprendi a jogar
capoeira de angola
na beira do mar

E verdade meu amigo
Escutei o que eu vou falar
Quem é dono no ciuma
Quem não e quer ciumar

Na beira do mar
é na beira do mar
aprendi a jogar
capoeira de angola
na beira do mar
