We will be hosting our annual roda at the san francisco carnival again this year. Come one come all, bring a good attitude and good energy. Contact me for details. Just for the record, there are many famous and well respected mestres that have never been "officially graduated" and promoted themselves after less than ten years in the art. with a little research you will be shocked to know who they are. Also I have been with Mestre Baruti 21 years, he did not call himself Mestre...others did.

What Is low country Capoeria? Is that referencing the Low Country South Carolina area?

[jmsatty]

Chicago (Erik Murray) named his group Low Country Capoeria Angola when he established it in Savannah, GA some years back. So yes, it refers to the Low Country extending from South Kakalakee down to Georgia, home to the Gullahs and "Knocking and Kicking."

Brother Neterkeht...

As i stated 10 months ago at the very beginning of the comments, i am having tech problems in posting the entire game. Those problems have yet to be solved.  Of course, if you have a digital 8 camera or player you could let me use, the video will be up fast, quick and in a hurry!

Peace

Mestre Terry Baruti will be hosting a a Roda at the San Francisco Carnival on Sunday May 25,2008 from 1:30pm - 3:00pm with his students. You can ask him personally your questions. Baruti has taught at risk youth throughout the African American community in San francisco for over 20 years. He is well respected in our communities which most cannot teach in even if they had the desire. You sound a bit disrespectful but I will assume its your ignorance an as you stated.

[jmsatty]

Please forward Mestre Terry's contact info to me. I really would like to know the comrades name in this video clip so that i may give credit where it is due. Also give him greetings from CACLA.

Mestre Baurti has over 30 years in the game. He has students with over 20 years playing. And by playing I do mean playing. Adigun Sipho has been a fixture in the capoeira community in the Bay Area. It predates almost every Capoeira group in the United States. Adigun Sipho is known for action and activism. Not slandering other groups or Mestres behind the scenes.

During this time Mestre Baruti also began working with Mestre Themba as a colleague. During one of Mestre Moraes's visits he gave Mestre Baruti the blessing to teach Capoeira Angola. It should be noted that Mestre Baruti never joined GCAP or was affiliated with Mestre Themba's group. However he has been known and recognized as a Capoeira Angola instructor for the past two decades AND the first to teach Capoeira Angola in the City of San Francisco.

Mestre Baruti was one of the 1st 5 students of Mestre Acrodeon when he began teaching in the Bay Area (mid to late 70s). Later in Regional he was the first student of Mestre Perguica and Mestre Beicola. He was the first person to teach children capoeira in the USA. With the above groups he traveled to Brazil 5 times. It was here that he was first exposed to Angola through Mestre Moraes. Mestre Baruti hosted Moraes on several occasions to teach his group Angola. More to come.

Fascinating how things get around in the capoeira community.

"I just remember hearing something from somebody who heard from somebody who heard from somebody else about Mestre Baruti saying something about being the only person in the US worthy of being called an angoleiro, even mentioning Themba, Cobrinha, & others with contempt."

Talk about hearsay! If you know Terry, and I've been close with him for over 18 years now, you would know these words would never leave his mouth.
