Hi everybody,
I just got home from a Capoeira Angola workshop taught by MESTRE THEMBA, and I clicked on this gem of a video by PROF BLACK TRUTH.
I noticed that they make these posts every sunday, so I thought That I would post these Sunday Address videos every Sunday.
Hi Everybody,
Just wanted to make a quick post here to honor MALCOM X on what would have been his 98th Birthday.

What I mean by that is, I did a whole lot of posting but not much WRITING. Well, THAT IS GOING TO CHANGE.
I’m not gonna put herE what I’m going to post about, because I did that already on this blog. I’m gonna say that what I will post is gonna come from my heart, ad what I’m feeling at the moment.
And of course, Capoeira Angola related. Mostly.
This is meant to be the LIVING part of this website, so I better make it ALIVE.
Anyway, I leave you with this video, which I was listening to when I made this post. I’ll probably post it here again. It’s a dope video.
Greetings Everyone!
Well, like it says on the Blog title and the flyer beneath it, Mestre Roxinho will be back in Los Angeles and he will lead a Capoeira Angola workshop, roda, and discussion on Sunday June 4th, 2023.
Mestre Roxinho brings his forty-plus years of wisdom and enlightened perspective about Capoeira Angola, and the important work he is doing centering on its use as an instrument for positive transformation in the lives of children, youth, and their communities in Brasil, Philippines, Australia, and the United States.
Now if you want to know more about who he is and what he does, click HERE.

Well, here we are. I’m making some changes to my life, and part of that is to change the face of this website. The permanent pages are still there, but this blog will be the face of this Website.
I’ll be posting about Capoeira Angola of course, but I’ll also posts about subjects related to Capoeira Angola, and the pages I posted about it.
And also, some incredible jogos I happen to find out there, like this one:
Well, let’s see where this new chapter in the life of this website takes us, shall we?
Oh, and I PROMISE myself that I’ll actually write more things onthis blog.

Just one week into 2022, another titan of cinema has fallen. On Thursday, January 6th, Sidney Poitier—the first Black man to ever win the Oscar for best actor—died at 94. The timing of Poitier’s loss poetically and painfully echoes that of another Black icon of cinema, Cicely Tyson, who died in January of last year. Like Tyson, Poitier projected superhuman levels of grace both on and off camera. They both became civil rights activists, not necessarily by choice but because their era demanded it, and used their influence as movie stars to advocate for tangible change for Black people across the nation. Both Tyson and Poitier, who acted together in 1959’s Odds Against Tomorrow, were synonymous with Black excellence—a testament not only to all that we could achieve, but all that we could do for others in the process.
