Interesting you should say that... the acrobats perform with Circus Baobab, which is an off-shoot of Cirque du Soleil, featuring jembe music and West African dance.

[Fafi108]

cool!

[wadoma]

It is with sadness that I report that Boka Camara (jembe soloist in this video) passed away yesterday, April 12th 2009 from Malaria. He will be remembered as possibly the greatest, and certainly the most imitated, jembefola of the younger generation. Thanks Boka for the music and inspiration!

[kierzorz]

its called capoeira

[tvm666]

capoeira its portugues word, so they are from africa as i can see,

im from latinoamerica and they arent from brasil

so they dont know the word capoeira, they are just doing acrobaticas excersises , from his old costumes

its like dancing for they

[worldmusicfan]

ok. kierzorz, capoeira is an art of defense and deception, where as this is simply a display of gymnastic skills and flexibility. besides, the capoeira tradition originated out of angolan culture... not guinean culture...

[iArsalan]

You're both wrong. Capoeira came from many different sources and it's not a Portuguese word. Capoeira music honors several tribes, Jeje(Guinea), Angola, Ijesha(Yoruba), Nago(Yoruba), Male(Mali or Muslims in general), and many others. Each of these tribes contributed to Capoeira's developement and anytime I see it parent elements in African it makes me smile.

The video doesn't even try to claim Capoeira but everyone whose familiar with it sees the obvious connections. Then they accept or deny.

[rodog247]
