The second one, is that Capoeira didn't get to US through slave trading, other African martial arts perhaps. Capoeira was brought to US by a Mestre called Jelon Viera, who Chigaco mentions on the video, with his dance company along with a guy called Loremil Machado back in the 60's then it made its way to the streets and finally to break dance.
You should check this guys out. Chicago knows them.
Besides that, you got some good footage! Keep it up!
Well, I just like to rectify a couple of things... one, is tha Capoeira didn't come from Africa. The roots of Capoeira came from Africa. Capoeira was evolved in Brazil mainly from a dance called N'Golo (The Zebra Dance) by the slaves out of the necessity to fight for freedom...
