music and movement with a mestre

Capoeira is such an important part of Salvadorian culture - it transcends the game and music and fuses itself with the most basic elements of social interaction. I think of it as a metaphor created simultaneously, symbiotically with the things it seeks to describe - traffic and pedestrians, time...for these reasons the Studio brings students together for an introduction to the music and movement of capoeira.

This is Sue with Mestre Cobre Mansa (or Cobrinha)!
