Description
Capoeira Angola, formerly a regional Brazilian form of self-defense and dance, has its roots in African traditions and is becoming popular in urban centers around the world, growing into a widely taught art form and philosophy. This call-and-response singing is accompanied by compelling rhythms played on berimbau and percussion instruments that express and control the performance of the Capoeira fight/dance. The musicians and singers featured on these 39 tracks are among the finest modern performers of Capoeira Angola music.

"A good introduction to this highly passionate and expressive artform." — Cultural Survival Quarterly

Capoeira Angola, una forma regional de autodefensa y danza del Brasil cuyas raíces se erigen sobre tradiciones africanas, ha alcanzado una gran popularidad en diversos centros urbanos alrededor del mundo, evolucionando en una forma artística y filosófica ampliamente cultivada. Los ritmos tocados en el berimbau y los instrumentos de percusión expresan y controlan la práctica de la Capoeira, al mismo tiempo que acompañan el diálogo cantado entre el solista y un grupo. Los intérpretes presentados en estos 39 cortes se cuentan entre los más finos exponentes de la Capoiera Angola.
