The Music of Capoeira
Music is an essential part of Capoeira. The speed and type of game are controlled by the music. Rhythm is the heartbeat of Capoeira and song is the soul. Music calls capoeiristas to perform acrobatic feats or remind them of old traditions and history. Without music, Capoeira is not complete. To define oneself as a capoeirista, one must master several percussion instruments of African origin.
