Capoeira demo at Carter Road

August 15th, 2007 by

Capoeira is a Brazilian dance-martial-arts-game kinda thingy. It was practiced by the Brazilian slaves when they were shipped to Portugal – way back in the 16th century. Since these slaves were prohibited from practicing martial arts, they devised a method which looked like dance. So Capoeira is a fight-dance. The amphitheater area at Carter Road had a group of young people demonstrating this art. It was fun to watch –  music, dance, a lovely breeze and the amazing sea – bliss 🙂
