Omulu Capoeira Guanabara

Capoeira is a collective art form that brings together dance, music, acrobatics and martial arts. Created four centuries ago by African slaves in Brazil in their struggle for freedom & survival, capoeira was still illegal to practice until the 1930s, but since then has acquired enormous popularity among people of all ages and backgrounds in Brazil & throughout the world.
Practiced in a communal setting within a circle of players, or “roda,” and set to a hypnotic, pulsing rhythm, capoeira calls for intuition, skill, grace and physical strength.
