	Capoeira Music CDs - Capoeira gear - Association of Capoeira Engenho da Rainha, London UK
		The songs on this album are very catchy, basic, and the tempo spot on for a newcomer to capoeira.
		These traditional songs are marked by the metallic twang of the berimbau (a one-string bow played with a stick), the repetitive beats of the atabaque (standing drum), and the sounds of the pandeiro (which is generally played by four beats and a shake).
		Capoeira is a mix of solo pieces ("Juna," "Juna Verdadeira"), pieces accompanied by other instruments (drums on "Sao Bento Grande" and "My Beat," rattle on "Batida Nova Rapida," and flute on "Juna Ocarina"), and full-out songs.

	Capoeira Berimbau - History
		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" and dialogue, in the sense that many capoeiristas tend to focus more on impressive acrobatics or the martial elements and not so much the playful interaction with the other player in the roda.
		Angola is considered to be the mother form of capoeira and is often characterized by deeply held traditions, slower, sneakier movements played closer to the ground and with the players playing their games in closer proximity to each other than in regional or contemporanea.

	Capoeira Uniao
		Capoeira was the key element in the unexpected attacks.
		Between the years when slavery was abolished and capoeira was openly accepted by all Brazilians as a part of their national heritage, capoeira had developed a very bad reputation.
		The practice of capoeira which owes much of its roots to African folkloric rituals was one of the many ways that the ex-slaves could maintain their culture and identity and many capoeiristas were now using the art for political protests.

	Capoeira songs in other lingo than Brasilian - Capoeira Cafe Forums (Site not responding. Last check: )
		I'm inviting any songwriter (would be or not, aspiring or profesional alike) to rise to the challenge to make a capoeira song in their own lingo, even better, their own dialect with the typical multi-layered meaning as found in the original Brasilian capoeira songs.
		First of all, capoeira`s unity will become even more fragmented than it already is. One of the great things about having Portuguese as the capoeira universal language is that you can go to Brazil, to Japan, to Greece, to Canada, wherever - and sing meu facao bateu embaixo...
		You know, traditional african music (and capoeira is african music isn't it ?) is all about question and answer and has a tradition of starting of with an existing melody, with a repeated chorus and known questions and answers because it comes with that specific song.

		Although Capoeira doesn't focus on destroying the person you play against, it is not rare to see a roda organized that allows sweeping or takedowns.

		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 Joao Pequeno's school (with much slower, methodical movements to low tempo, hypnotic music).

	Barefoot Studios in Tacoma: Capoeira History
		One theory of Capoeira’s development is that it came from the zebra dance of Angola a religious ritual where dancers entered a roda to dance to an instrument similar to the berimbau and utilized a step similar to the ginga.
		Another theory states that Capoeira was developed in the senzala (slave quarters) of the fazendas of Bahia; where the many different African cultures mingled to create a new unique form.
		These shady origins of capoeira give a practical explanation for the different rhythms of the berimbau; When the master, overseer and later, the military police approached the roda, the capoeiristas were alerted to the danger by the berimbau’s song.

		He must have learned the art of capoeira in whichever country for which he is prepared to fight and where he would like to die.
		However, if the above song existed before the development of Capoeira Regional, it may be counted as proof for capoeira's origin, as it is referring specifically to capoeira's Angolan roots and not merely serving to distinguish between the two present forms of capoeira.
		Now we can summarize that the capoeira songs hint at Angolan roots, that the art was brought to northeast Brazil by slaves who lived there, in Bahia, and who practiced and taught it.

	ABADÁ Capoeira - Capoeira - The Roda
		A "roda" (pronounced "ho-da") refers to the circle that capoeira players form, and inside of which the game is played.
		Those forming the roda are as important to the game as the two players inside—adding to the energy and rhythm of the game by clapping their hands, singing choruses of capoeira songs, and playing instruments.
		As a metaphor for the circle of life, the capoeira roda illustrates that all individuals are important in the creation of the whole, and that cooperation is essential to the process.
