YES! Simple answer LOL
Capoeira is rooted in culture and ritual that is a combination of the African and the Brazilian Natives whom were enslaved. The music tells stories of the past, of happiness and sadness. The movements are expressions of each individual used for pure joy and as a distraction for the fight that also happens. Capoeira is life... In life sometime it is serious and times it is playful, danger is always around and when should always be prepared. Jogo da Ginga .
