Today, August 3rd, is Capoeirista Day, a celebration for those who practice capoeira, an incredible martial art from Brazil. Officially recognized in São Paulo and celebrated globally, capoeira blends acrobatics, dance, and music, making it unique and captivating.
The Roots of Capoeira
Capoeira was created by African slaves in Brazil, incorporating dance and music to disguise their combat training. Despite being banned post-slavery, it survived and flourished, becoming legal in 1940. By the 1970s, capoeira had spread worldwide, recognized for its cultural significance by UNESCO in 2014.
Modern Capoeira
Known for its dynamic moves and rhythmic music, capoeira is practiced in three styles: capoeira de Angola, capoeira regional, and capoeira contemporânea.
