Incredible experience - exciting, joyful, and very special to be a part of.
“A must do in Salvador” — we’ll take that as the highest compliment! We’re so glad you felt the excitement, joy, and how special it is to be part of the roda. Capoeira is exactly that: history, community, and energy all in one. Thank you for experiencing it with us and for sharing your words. You’re part of our story now!
Good to see what Capoeira and drumming is all about. This was followed by samba dancing. What was most lovely was when they involved all of us in the audience.

This enthusiastic and laughing group offers us a capoeiro masterpiece show completed by a shared samba session with percus and songs
Merci infiniment pour ces si beaux mots ! Nous sommes très heureux que vous ayez ressenti l’énergie, l’enthousiasme et la maestria des capoeiristes. Partager la capoeira, la samba, les percussions et les chants avec vous est toujours un moment spécial pour nous. Votre présence et votre joie font aussi partie du spectacle ! Au plaisir de vous revoir pour vibrer, chanter et danser ensemble à nouveau à Salvador.
A superb experience, between the capoeira class with a passionate and exciting master, then an hour and a half of unforgettable show!
Merci beaucoup pour ce superbe retour ! Nous sommes ravis que le cours de capoeira et le show vous aient autant marqué. Au plaisir de vous revoir très bientôt !
