Opening Roda, Mestre's and Professor's games - Capoeira Mandinga Rochester Batizado 2009

[CapoeiraIrmandade]

Can anyone tell me the name of the song in the first part of the vid and if so the lyrics to.

Axe

@CapoeiraIrmandade Y'know, I was at that roda, but I wasn't sure what we were singing even then.

The chorus sounded like "Tem dende, Axé. / Tem dende, Axé." I've heard to say someone "has dende" means that they "have what it takes" to play Capoeira. I couldn't tell you more than the chorus... I'm sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

Also, I found another video with the same song in it toward the middle. You might be able to make out the verses better than I can.

If you search "Mestre Espirro Mirim vs. Instrutor Baz" (posted by a user 'sonambuloruivo') you should be able to find it. YouTube won't let me post a link.
