Hello friend, my name is joel, I have been learning capoeira for nearly 15 years. i started with the contemporary style, then began my journey with capoeira angola with many wonderful teachers. The tao, force, light, call if what you like, pulled me towards Mestre (master) Claudio and his capoeira Angola group ‘os angoleiros do sertao’ (the angoleiros of the outbacks or desert) and i was enchanted. His group tells the tale of a capoeira angola originating from the outbacks of bahia not the capital, away from the sea and fisherman, but surrounded by desertland, cowboys and cactus which is represented in the colors, symbols, mobements and musiccality. This had a profound effect on my life and capoeira and I am on a mission to hopefully share this energy that made me so happy with YOU through my capoeira Angola classes. Always with respect to the black African slaves that were kidnapped and taken to brazil, who created this mystical, mythical and magical art form. I am a mere radio channelling into a frequency that resonates, helping strengthen it and pass it on to others, with respect for my Mestre, the art form and all those that sacrificed their life for this.
