music: Joćo Pequeno preparing a berimbau

Rhythm is the heartbeat of capoeira and song is the soul. Music can make a game play fast and hard, call capoeiristas to perform acrobatic feats or remind them of old traditions and history. Without music, capoeira is not complete.

Here in the music section you can find:

  • An interactive database of capoeira lyrics and translations
  • Samples of berimbau rhythms played by capoeira masters
