Articles of the Month

Featured Style: Capoeira

Capoeira, variously described as a martial art, a dance or a game, is a tradition that developed amongst African slaves in colonial Brazil. Its practitioners (sometimes called "players", "dancers" or "performers") are known as capoeiristas in Spanish.

Featured Practioner: Manuel dos Reis Machado

Manuel dos Reis Machado, commonly called Mestre Bimba was a mestre of the Capoeira. He started learning Capoeira when he was 12 years old, with a Capitão da Companhia Baiana de Navegação (Navigation Captain) from Estrada das Boiadas (present day Bairro da Liberdade) in Salvador, called Bentinho, even though in those days capoeira was still being persecuted by the authorities.
