Welcome to Capoeira!
It is hoped that this year the festival will include a display of the exicting Capoeira by a Galway city-based Brazilian group.
Capoeira is a fusion of martial arts and dance which originated amongst the African slaves in colonial Brazil. It is danced in a circle to the sound of the berimbau, a percussion instrument of African origin. Opposed by the Brasilian authorities until the beginning of the twentieth century, today Capoeira is regarded as a national sport.
