Capoeira Angola, formerly a regional Brazilian
form of self-defense and dance, has its roots in African traditions and is
becoming popular in urban centers around the world, growing into a widely taught
art form and philosophy. This call-and-response singing is accompanied by
compelling rhythms played on berimbau and percussion instruments that express
and control the performance of the Capoeira fight/dance. The musicians and
singers featured on these 39 tracks are among the finest modern performers of
Capoeira Angola music. --CD description |
Capoeira Angola, Vol. 2 - Brincando Na Roda (Audio CD)
|
Following Grupo de Capoeira Angola Pelourinho's introduction via their 1996 release Capoeira Angola from Salvador, Brazil, the group returns with an even stronger statement, well worth the wait. Delving deeper into capoeira's mental and physical "poetry in motion," the music on Brincando na Roda brings to life the essence of this graceful art form's self-defense-styled movements. An integral part of capoeira, the music is a complementary 'soundtrack' which resulted from a cross-pollination of African origins and Brazilian culture. Capoeira as a whole continues to flourish and spread exponentially throughout the world today. Extensive notes in English and Portuguese, 45 minutes. --CD description |

Capoeira - a form of dance and martial
arts - came into being in Brazil over four hundred years ago! Here, Mestre Iram
Custodio (one of the very finest exponents of the genre) performs the music with
all its varous rhythms - sao bento, maculele, samba and more. A lively pleasure!--CD description |
Capoeira: Legendary Music Of Brazil
Guilherme Franco
(1998)
|
Listening to this music without actually seeing the astounding acrobatics and physical movement of the capoeira martial art form is sort of like listening to a movie soundtrack without the movie: you miss the visual aspect, but it allows you to hear the music more fully. Guilherme Franco plays the Brazilian berimbau, a kind of bow with a metal string that is struck with a stick. The sound is like no other percussion instrument; it buzzes, it sustains, it alters pitch like a bent note on a steel-string guitar. Capoeira is a mix of solo pieces ("Juna," "Juna Verdadeira"), pieces accompanied by other instruments (drums on "Sao Bento Grande" and "My Beat," rattle on "Batida Nova Rapida," and flute on "Juna Ocarina"), and full-out songs. But this catalog only hints at the richness of this recording and of the sound the berimbau makes when Franco's stick strikes the string. --Genevieve Williams |
