🌍✨ Capoeira, Africa and Brazil — connected through movement, music and history.

Last week we had the privilege of sharing capoeira at a the Australian National University event celebrating Africa, with representatives from different African countries in attendance and organised by .

Before the roda, we spoke about capoeira’s African roots — from the influence of Angola and Bantu cultures, to traditions such as Engolo/N’golo, the power of rhythm, the berimbau, the circle, and the way music, movement and community came together in Brazil to create this beautiful art form.

Capoeira is more than a martial art.
It is dance, fight, game, music, resistance, identity and culture.

A huge thank you to and everyone who joined us, asked questions, supported the presentation and shared the energy of the roda with us. It was a special opportunity to honour the African legacy that lives within capoeira and continues to connect people around the world.

Axé! 🙏🏽
