  • welll i don't really know where do you wanna get at. The fact is (and you just confirmed) that Capoeira is DEFENITELY a Brazillian dance/sport with Angolan/African roots.

    Which means that was born in Africa, but developed in Brazil.

  • Mussenga I liked the way you came here to defend your culture and i think that more people should be like you.

    That is the reason i have done this documentary and i will make many more this year in Angola to remind everybody what seams to be forgoteen.

    JOCA

  • as the capoeira, o hip hop is purely america. It was never born in Africa. It was created in USA . .

    Hip hop is a music genre and cultural movement which developed in New York City during the 1970s primarily among African Americans and Latin Americans

  • My friend Capoeira has centuries HIP HOP has years.

    That is not an history lesson.

    Before the slaves in Brasil you did not had Capoeira, Samba, Churrasco, Feijoada, in can name so many things.

    Even the instruments you play in Sambas and Capoeira are from Africa.

    Show me something realy yours. With no influence from no one.

  • Haha! Are you critizing the teaching methods of Mestre Cobra Mansa?! You must be joking.

    Everyone has to start somewhere on the skill ladder and work their way up. But Cobra Mansa and his school are the real thing, buddy.

  • i love capoeira

see all

  • Jazz has roots as long as Capoeira. In New Orleans there were African based secret societies and social clubs whose rhythms form the basis of what became modern jazz. Also, the lute instruments of the southern part of the United States, in particular the banjo, have orgins as far as the 17the century. The banjo is originally an instrument from Africa.

  • yeah, understandable, but i dont like that style.

  • everyone has there own style of ginga

  • Alessandrobrs have you been in Africa?

    Do your research better, Samba comes from the Angolan Semba and also is not known worldwise but it is still from Angola, like Capoeira Samba was developed in Brasil the difference is that Capoeira still has the same name and so it is still part of Angola.

    Like the Kizomba that Brasilians are now singuing thinking that is Salsa.

    Kizomba and Zouk is also not from Brasil.

  • their ginga makes me want to slap the shit out of them

  • that was awesome.. thank you..
