[FutureofFutbolF7]

i love capoeira

[Booyakasha976]

their ginga makes me want to slap the shit out of them

[chross1984]

everyone has there own style of ginga

[Booyakasha976]

yeah, understandable, but i dont like that style.

[roglegogler]

that was awesome.. thank you..

[CrazyRueda]

in my opinion the technnique of that school is awful

[shadowsaiyan]

Haha! Are you critizing the teaching methods of Mestre Cobra Mansa?! You must be joking.

Everyone has to start somewhere on the skill ladder and work their way up. But Cobra Mansa and his school are the real thing, buddy.

[Alessandrobrs]

Let's talk fortuguese our mother tongue.

Pois é não tenho nenhum preconceito com as culturas, so estou colocando meu ponto de vista, A capoira é um patrimonio cultural do Brasil e do mundo.

[mussenga]

welll i don't really know where do you wanna get at. The fact is (and you just confirmed) that Capoeira is DEFENITELY a Brazillian dance/sport with Angolan/African roots.

Which means that was born in Africa, but developed in Brazil.

[JocaRahimProductions]

Mussenga I liked the way you came here to defend your culture and i think that more people should be like you.

That is the reason i have done this documentary and i will make many more this year in Angola to remind everybody what seams to be forgoteen.

JOCA

[mussenga]

thanks, people should do their researches before expose their ignorance. Brazillian and Angolan culture are deeply connected due to the triangle trade ( slave trade ) in the 18th century.

Just look how both people (Brazillian/Angolan) move to the beat, their eating habits and etc... there are unquestionable similarities.

Semba/kizomba/kuduro=Samba, Lambada.... a feijoada.

[Alessandrobrs]

as the capoeira, o hip hop is purely america. It was never born in Africa. It was created in USA . .

Hip hop is a music genre and cultural movement which developed in New York City during the 1970s primarily among African Americans and Latin Americans

[Moretzsohn1]

and wtf does that have to do with capoeira?

[johnatbard]

Some would argue that hip hop was created in Jamaica as a result of the 'toasters' and the sound system battles that were happening as early as the 1950s. As far as I'm concerned, fun is fun--art is art. I can appreciate both hip hop and capoeira for their beauty and the ease with which they meld and transcend different cultures, without feeling the need to pigeonhole them as the property of one heritage or another.

[JocaRahimProductions]

My friend Capoeira has centuries HIP HOP has years.

That is not an history lesson.

Before the slaves in Brasil you did not had Capoeira, Samba, Churrasco, Feijoada, in can name so many things.

Even the instruments you play in Sambas and Capoeira are from Africa.

Show me something realy yours. With no influence from no one.

[adeart7]

Jazz has roots as long as Capoeira. In New Orleans there were African based secret societies and social clubs whose rhythms form the basis of what became modern jazz. Also, the lute instruments of the southern part of the United States, in particular the banjo, have orgins as far as the 17the century. The banjo is originally an instrument from Africa.

[chross1984]

Capoeira is not technically part of my heritage. But it has definately become a major part of my life.

[Alessandrobrs]

Capoeira is purely Brazilian. It was never born in Africa. It was created here in Brazil by african slaves. Try travelling to Angola and asking if they know Capoeira.There is no register in history that capoeira was developed in the African continent before or even after.We have 2 styles, Capoeira Angola and Regional.Capoeira was not brought, it was born in Brazil.

The "Angola" Style is a cultural root tribute - not a proof that they played it.CAPOEIRA is from Brazil, created by african slaves.

[mussenga]

...Your statement is VERY misleading. Capoeira WAS born/created for that matter in Angola. There are certain areas in the South of Angola ( Cunene, Kuando Kubango, Namibe) where people still dancing the same way slaves did it hundreds of years ago in Brazil.

by the way this is called culture "the quality in a person or society that arises from a concern for what is regarded as excellent in arts, letters, manners, scholarly pursuits, etc." DIG DEEPER before talk out your ass.

[Alessandrobrs]

Capoeira is a culmination of customs from different enslaved African cultures and social influences in Brazil of the time. The game as we know it never existed in Africa until more recent times.

I attended an anthropology lecture on the topic onc

Thank you master Bimba and Pastinha

Something else : The origin of the word "capoeira" is a word from Tupi language (native brazilian indians), which means vegetation that grows after putting a forest down.

[JocaRahimProductions]

My friend Alessandrobrs, after i finished this documentary, which i had done the research myselve. Mestre Cobra Mansa and a Professor Mathias from one University in London asked me to document a book they were writing called 'The Roots of Capoeira' , and i was meant to go with them to Angola and document their journey. If If you know what roots means with your statment they should have gone to Brasil and not Angola.

Samba comes from Semba.

Kizomba is pure African.

JOCA

[jeffblacc]

no, capoeira was brought from angola to brazil form ancient african martial arts. capoeira was made in brazil.but the roots are from angola

[Alessandrobrs]

Capoeira was developed by different African cultures in Brazil. If Capoeira was developed in Africa, what was it used for and why is it not being practiced there? You simply can't prove it was created in Africa, evidence points to Brazil being the nation as home of Capoeira.

[JocaRahimProductions]

Alessandrobrs have you been in Africa?

Do your research better, Samba comes from the Angolan Semba and also is not known worldwise but it is still from Angola, like Capoeira Samba was developed in Brasil the difference is that Capoeira still has the same name and so it is still part of Angola.

Like the Kizomba that Brasilians are now singuing thinking that is Salsa.

Kizomba and Zouk is also not from Brasil.

[tocadorthe1]

very good film =]

i personally dont do capoeira angola.. im more of a regional person.. but i still think it is a great style.. and this film shows that :)

very well done on it :)

[JocaRahimProductions]

It was well donne but let me tell you that it was not approved by my lectures at South Bank Uny with luck i did it and the resul is this production that for me is something that i did with love and i could not do it better.

Thanks.

And if some one tells you not to do something that you love even if they are your lectures do it any way, because the result that comes from love is always a good result.

[JocaRahimProductions]

Thanks,

JOCA

[malicia77]

Muito Obrigado!!

I, like many others, was utterly inspired the first time I saw Capoeira in some movie about fourteen years ago. After looking for a capoeira school for fifteen years, I found a school. It IS a Capoeira Angola style. Now if we can just get a Capoeira magazine on the shelf next to those Black Belts and Budos. Who's with me.

[JocaRahimProductions]

Obrigada eu Malicia

[JocaRahimProductions]

Hey Marina this is not the right place to do this kind of advertising you know that don't you.

But i respect everybody who is not damaging someone else like selling drugs or something similar, and so i will let your comment on my page but i hope it will not change my image

[el14deltabl0n]

capoeira is not a dance! they keep saying that.

by the way this is capoeira angola...

[JocaRahimProductions]

Hey how you doing?

I think that you need to watch this doc again and than comment, we are talking about the History of Capoeira, the way that Capoeira was developed, this is Capoeira Angola it's true and where does Capoeira comes from?

Any way tanks,

Jose Fernandes

[JocaRahimProductions]

Obrigada, Charley.
