I was fascinated watching the boys in Bahia,Brazil dancing their Capoeira . <br />The masters of the art, are incredible. <br />You have written so well about the origins of it. Knowing Brazil and the Brazilians. Most say it was invented in the Sanzalas... When i was there.. no women took part. But I see now that there are lots of women that have taken it up. One blow from their flip kick and you are gone.<br />loved the painting of them practicing .. <br />Portugal and Brazil have a rich history.<br />Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful post. I so enjoyed it. I can hear the drums and the Berimbau playing as I read it.<br />val x x x xvalerietilsten59.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05617190196811279000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8796960161183320830.post-82374915670903061082013-09-15T05:21:11.569-04:002013-09-15T05:21:11.569-04:00I'm not usually interested in martial arts, bu...I'm not usually interested in martial arts, but you've outlined an interesting history.

How it amuses me to think of how that expression sounds. This allows me to defy the fact that I am aging!<br /><br />Anyhow, a few decades ago, there used to be a group of Brazilian musicians and dancers who would gather together each Saturday or Sunday in Central Park and give marvelous capoeira performances. They'd quickly attract an admiring crowd who would toss coins or paper currency in a supplied hat, and sometimes even sign up to enroll in classes to learn this dance.<br /><br />These were such happy afternoons!<br /><br />A particular star musician of the group, who was the expert drummer, also played with performances given in the Park by David Byrne (of Talking Heads fame.)<br /><br />What fun it's been on this evening to let my memory drift back to a time of fun. Pre-computer. Pre-rollerblades. Pre-lots of stuff that I am sure are even now creating treasured memories for much younger folks.<br /><br />xoFranceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08352407314710067616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8796960161183320830.post-76643372271500995022013-09-14T18:25:09.658-04:002013-09-14T18:25:09.658-04:00It has finally (Sunday morning our time) appeared ...It has finally (Sunday morning our time) appeared in my reading list.Elephant's Childhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06650565833097914052noreply@blogger.com
