  • I`m a Capoeiraista who also plays West African drumming, my teacher being a griot from guinee.

    It`s so amazing to see how close the relationship between the ladja, capoeira and west african drumming.Maybe it all stems from the youdoban religions and language.Axe

  • just fight we want to see some actions

  • merci

  • Yep. You can still see a lot of this on the West all the way down to Angola. It's predominantly a Kongo thing, but forms of it are all over.

  • its a mixe of all west african coast .

  • Which African tribe/ethnic group does this style come from?
