Capoeira is life...

A capoerista can not deny that Capoera has changed there life in some way, no matter how small it is. You see my motivation in Capoeira even in the very early stages is the music. Without it Capoeira has lost its greatest teacher, it has lost its guide, its light in the shadows. When one realises the truth (yah I am going Matrix on y'allll) that everything conforms to a rhythm, confroms to a basic pattern, whether it be the wind, the leaf that falls to the ground (Folha Seca y'alll) or the Capoeirista that conforms to the rhythm that is being played at that particular moment, you start to see that you are part of a whole, the roda of life!!!

So why don;t you go ahead and dance to the rhythm, fight if the rhythm commands it, or walk around the world(volta do mundo)

The Lone Berimbau Player.


I bet all of y'all Capoeiristas can relate to this, on the beach as the sun goes down, with nothing but the wind and the sound of the waves to complement the sounds that come from your berimbau. Ahh yes good times I tell you, good time.
