Capoeira Event

I photographed Mestre Cafu's capoeira event last weekend.

Capoeira is a martial arts created in the 16th century by the african slaves in Brazil. It is a mixture of martial arts with some dance and music. The practice of capoeira focus mainly on kicks and flips. Dance and music were used by the slaves to hide the martial arts training from their master. Capoeira is still practiced in Brazil and all over the world.
