  Capoeira music
The music of capoeira is an essential part of capoeira.
The main instruments of capoeira consist of the berimbau, which resembles a single string bow with a gourd at the bottom, and tire wire for a string.
Some of the other instruments used in capoeira are the atabaque, which is a drum; the pandeiro, which is a tamberine; the agogo bell, which sort of resembles two round cowbells together; and finally there is the reco reco, which is a hollow, wooden, round shaped object with a grating.

Music is used to inspire the players to more intense level of interaction, and it is used to calm them down when the game has become too heated.
Capoeira scholar Ken Dossar writes: The object of the game is for the capoeiristas to use finesse, guile, and technique to maneuver one another into a defenseless position, rendering them open to a blow, kick or sweep.

 Capoeira   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Capoeira was developed by the slaves of Brazil as a way to resist their oppressors, secretly practice their art, transmit their culture, and lift their spirits.
Modern capoeira is often criticized by more traditional practitioners of capoeira as being in the process of losing its "playfulness" in the sense that many capoeiristas tend to focus more on impressive acrobatics and not so much the playful interaction with the other player in the roda.
Capoeira Angola, in actuality, is played in a great range of speeds, ranging from Mestre Rene's school (with fast, highly acrobatic movements and frenetic high tempo music) to Mestre João Pequeno's school (with much slower, methodical movements to low tempo, hypnotic music).

Capoeira was developed surreptitiously, with practitioners pretending that they were taking part in dances, when in fact they were practicing their kicks and blows.
