Capoeira

Capoeira music is an integral part of the Afro-Brazilian martial art that blends rhythmic, call-and-response songs with percussive elements to guide the movement and energy of the game. Originating in the 16th century among enslaved Africans in Brazil, it features traditional instruments like the berimbau, atabaque, and pandeiro, creating a dynamic soundscape that is both hypnotic and invigorating. The lyrics often tell stories of resistance, resilience, and community, infusing the physical practice with cultural and historical depth.
