Not all of us were born with equal rights. We tend to take things for granted. Like being literate. Knowing to read and write wasn’t granted for some. Throughout the bloody history of Capoeira most of its practitioners were in the gutter. Slaves. Ex-slaves. Lover caste. Marginals. Unworthy. Thieves. Criminals. At least that was how […]
Etimološki vidik capoeire. Nekoč in Danes Izvor besede “capoeira” je prav tako zavit v skrivnost kot izvor same umetnosti te veščine. Na splošno obstajajo tri možne opredelitve in etimologije besede capoeira – in sicer tupi-guarani, portugalka in afriška.

Capoeira zgodbe: nagajivi Saci-Pererê Saci-Pererê je legenda o mitološkem bitju, varuhu gozda in zdravilnih rastlin in nagajivem duhu, ki razgraja po hišah in okolici. Kot za večino takih bitij, ni čisto jasno kdo ga je prvi opazil, Tupi-Guarani mitologija plemen iz južne amerike, ga že omenja v svojih zgodbah; njegova rdeča kapica in pipa v […]
Šepet sence: Zakaj São Bento? Ste se kdaj vprašali zakaj tako velikokrat slišimo to ime v povezavi s capoeiro? Velikokrat se ga omenja v pesmih, načinih igre v rodi in ritmih berimbava (São Bento Grande de Angola, São Bento Pequeno de Angola, São Bento Amarrado, São Bento Repicado, São Bento de Angola, São Bento Grande […]
