Capoeira, with its roots in 16th-century Brazil, was born from the creativity and resilience of enslaved Africans, enriched by Indigenous cultures.
Its name, derived from the Tupi-Guarani word for "grass field," reflects its humble beginnings on plantations.
This dynamic art form blends dance and combat, performed in a circle to the rhythm of live percussion music, with Capoeira Angola emphasizing its rich history and resistance against colonial oppression.
Today Capoeira thrives globally, fostering community, enhancing physical fitness and promoting a philosophy of resilience and inclusion. In Brighton, Mucambo Capoeira Angola brings culture movement and community together on Brighton Seafront.
