Capoeira is a Afro-Brazilian martial art. It has roots in warriors dances brought to Brazil by African slaves. But it has also been shaped into the form it is known by today by various populations of the ethnic melting pot that is Brazil. Music is a central  to capoeira. It sets the style and speed of the game that is to be played in the roda, the circle in which the game is played. Musical accompaniment is made instruments and singing. Let Capoeira master Cláudio Campos introduce you to his world.
