The Origins of Capoeira: A History of Freedom
Capoeira is more than just a sport; it tells the story of African slaves who sought a way to practice their martial arts secretly in Brazil without being detected by their masters. They combined combat movements with dance and music, making Capoeira a symbol of resistance and creativity. Today, Capoeira is a living expression of Brazilian culture, and Salvador da Bahia is the perfect place to discover and experience this tradition.
