Joao Grande - Capoeira Angola Center

A short clip from what I filmed on 06/10/07. They had more really good players there than I think I have seen about anywhere, many, many good players were not on this (Sorry). Many thanks to Mestre Joao Grande for the interview and letting me film for a documentary, and Cabello for help and an earlier interview.

It looks like the documentary is going to still be in production though most of 2009. That's 3 years in the making. Though I wish it was done now, I'd rather it was done right. I'm working on the stories to accompany the interviews, and they weren't easy to find and will take a while and alot of traveling to complete. Thanks for your patients all, I'm doing my best to make sure it is worth the wait.

When is the video going to be ready?

[brfindla]

Love your singing BTW. It's still in work, I've gone though some good critiques on a short of it from Tribecca judges and another great D.P. On their feedback, I am working on a "story" within the doc, the filming *may* be done in Sept, editing then for another 6-8 months.. unless the story doesn't work.. then it's any ones guess. About 95% interviews and events done, just need a good story, I really want to finish, but will only do stop when I have a great doc. Over 2 years and counting ;-)

Great video...I´m Brazilian and I always stare at João Grande and his student´s capoeira.

Have a nice week ;)

Thank you.. we got some film of M Joao Grande in Salvador too along with lots of others during carnival in early Feb 2008. Still hard at work on the doc, probably be toward the end of 2008 early 2009 as we will probably still be filming into summer.

This looks a lot more intricate than any of the other capoeira videos i have seen before. There is an Angola chapter in my hometown I'm going to dip in this week!

I especially appreciate the musical aspect in this video!
