Capoeira weaves fighting music dance prayer and ritual into an urgent strategy by which people live struggle celebrate and survive together. In this book Bira Almeida or Mestre Acordeon as he is respectfully called in Capoeira circles – documents his own tradition with both the panoramic eye of the historian and the passionate heart of the capoeirista. He transports the reader from the dawn of New World history in Brazil to the streets of 20th century Bahia (the spiritual home of capoeira) to the giant urban centres of North America (where capoeira is now spreading in new lineages from old masters). This book is valuable for anyone interested in ethnocultural traditions martial arts and music as well as for those who want to listen to the words of an actual mestre dedicated to preserving his Afro-Brazilian legacy.
