More about this episode:
Malandro, founder of Filhos de Bimba Escola de Capoeira, Bay Area, has taught hundreds of students in the San Francisco Bay Area. He has traveled to Bahia nearly a dozen times since he began training more than 20 years ago in the art form that combines elements of martial arts, dance, music, philosophy and history. Each trip has deepened his practice and relationships with some of capoeira’s most important tradition bearers, including Mestre Nenel, the son of the late Mestre Bimba, who is considered the king of capoeira and helped bring it back from near extinction.
Enslaved Africans in Brazil developed capoeira, and the art form has evolved and survived through the generations, despite attempts over the years to outlaw and eliminate the practice after the abolition of slavery in 1890. Today one of the main lineages practiced is called Capoeira Regional, created by Mestre Bimba.
Watch Malandro on a recent trip to the mecca of capoeira and experience what’s considered the most African city outside of the continent, including scenes from Salvador’s historic plaza and a roda (circle) of capoeiristas playing at the idyllic Ribeira Beach. Learn more about the origins of the art form from the direct descendants of Mestre Bimba, culture keepers who continue to protect both his legacy and the art form he championed.
