  • There is nothing Brazilian about this practice, it was brought to Brazil by enslave Africans

  • @mythx123

    In the first 3 decades or so, yes, the slaves were mostly western Africans. But then about 1/3 of the slaves died during the sea crossing to Brazil and the portuguese would't adventure in the interior of Angola, so Portugal started to seek for slaves along the whole coast of Africa, even in mozambique. That's why the brazilien slaves spoke a common dialect, one of the first creole languages. The only thing they had in common was the colour of the skin and the hell they endured.

  • @333vasco I thought the brazilian slaves were Angolan. They didnt come from South Africa

  • clearly maculele. It's an afro-brazilian art. This is a dance, not a fight.

  • really?

  • Well, keep in mind that capoeira and maculele were invented by brasilien zulu slaves.

  • this doesn't look like Xhosa stick fighting, this looks much more like maculele
