Orgulho de ser brasileira e da cultura do meu país. Obrigado a todas as racas que ajudaram a formar o nosso povo, mesmo que alguns brasileiros nao queiram admitir isso e tenham vergonha.
Sad to see how Capoeira regional (unfortunately Angola is being pushed under the rug & not preserved which is the essence of Capoeira) has become commercialized, appropriated, commodified and co-opted with impunity - marginalized peoples aesthetics are making many people wealthy, however its not being reciprocated back to those marginalized communities. That is all part of the Capitalistic paradigm we all live in.
please do your own personal dialectic analysis on Capoeira, Afro-Brazilians, and Angola martial arts. You will find commonalities and the transparency will open many minds and narrow-minded hearts. Irrespectively, the main source is Angola which is in Africa. Give props when props are due.
They were BRASILIAN slaves. Descendants of africans. African slaves always had a greater dificulty to get along with other slaves, as they couldn't speak Portuguese and usualy had yet rivalities with slaves from other regions of Africa. Actualy the portuguese people mixed slaves from various tribes before selling, so they couldn't trust each other enough to join forces and rebel.
African descendants had not theese disadvantages and could cooperate with each other.
they were all black! All African! Not caucasian! just as jazz was created by African Americans Capoeira was created by Afro-brasilians! but all those slaves were from Africa! the europeans did not create our contribute to Capoeira!
Not african. Yes, black, but born in Brasil. Brasilians. Brasilian martial art. Read my previous message and you'll know why african slaves couldn't create the Capoeira.
Of course they were Black, and yes Capoeira was developed in Brasil. but the Fact is that you should give credit where the credit is do.Lets remind you Brasil was the last Country to Abolish Slavery. the Art was developed by Negro slaves. Not Italians, not the Portuguese, not the spainiards, who all have descendants in Brasil. But Capoeira is an Afro-Brasilian Art. There wouldn't be Capoeira if it wasn't for those slaves stolen from Africa.
Yes, afro-brasilian. Wich means created by descendants of africans. I am brasilian, but I descend partialy from italians, as my grand-grandfather was italian. If I create a work of art, this work will be considered italian or brasilian?
if you create a work of art it would be from whatever source you drew upon to create that work! Capoeira is drawing it's source from the African roots that these slaves possessed! so that is why there is AFRO in front of Brasil! just as if your work was heavily influenced by Italian culture it would be Italian-Brasilian!
Damn, Fistoffury85... calm down angoleiro. lol I completely agree with you, but I think your disagreement with Danilomatto stems from your difference of opinion on what it means to be Black versus African.
This is like a Nestor Capoeira vs Preto Velho debate... lol You're not gonna see eye to eye on this...
LOL !!I'm CDO! But it is never afro-brasilian people or "black people" who believe this argument is valid!the "white brasilians" and "white people" who try to discredit everything the blacks have done in and for Capoeira! this doesn't just happen with Capoeira but with many things around the world that have been created by Africans or "black people!" They Try to erase us out of our own history and Heritage! Even Suassuna says "They are the Creators and we are just the players!"
You seem to forgetting about the native Indians. Capoeira originated in Brazil - with a lot of different cultural and religious people coming together - you can't rule out that there are some white people in there as well.
Either way they were not all African or Capoeira would have been an African phenomenon and not a Brazilian one.
Capoeira is a beautiful art-form... and it is really a welcoming site to see this particular martial art beginning to be be embraced by people of various races and cultural backgrounds... especially some Asians.
I agree with you, they were African slaves, but it is a martial art developed in Brazil, that's a reason, why she has mistaken it. It is a common error.
