Ashe Manawanga! My apologies for this very delayed comment but you brought the truth & it was not appreciated. For those who need more here is a Afro Brazilian wisdom (paraphased) "Even if Portugal was the father - Afrika was the Mother lap/breasts on which Brazil was nutured." Even the martial science component comes from Angola - the N'golo and the very name of Queen/General N'zinga gives credence to the very basic movement in capoeira - the ginga. Asante for all of your research. Askari

The Berimbau is a native instrument in Southern Africa. It is especially played in Swaziland and Angola. The whole dance is called Capoeira Angola because the slaves who brought these principals to Brazil came from Angola. Samba music is also from Angola. There is an indigenous form in Angola called Sembe. Same beat! One letter different in the name. Many of these contributions were denied because in order to justify slavery it was necessary to make Africa seem like a place without any culture.
