I appreciate this wonderful work because it is very descriptive and was executed with earnest. I enjoyed the camera being centered on the man with the yellow shirt as he talked. He was like a griot recalling the history. Keep doing this very important work. Thank you for sharing.
It's known in many parts of Africa. Ghana (Although it's constructed and played slightly differently) and Zambia (It's played pretty identically to the berimbau, it just doesn't use a rock).
@Douglas Costa What part of capoeira is indigenous? Not that I don't believe there are possible indigenous influences, but I don't think there's really any evidence for that either. It seems to have mostly derived from African martial arts (I.e, see Engolo, which is oddly not mentioned in the video) and dances. What particular Native ethnic group influenced it, and what of their practices did they contribute?
It had its origins in Africa even before they were taken as slaves to America "Brazil". I don't believe it was native because when it came about, slaves and indians had no previous interaction. History is there to be checked... what is the oldest style of capoeira?
@Douglas Costa, aknowledging its African origin won't make it less fancy and it won't take away the merit of Brazil for keeping it and spreadinding it to the World.
Beautiful, graceful, natural & powerful traditional Martial Art w/deep international roots & rich history w/ultimate worldwide recognition & success for its richness in spiritual growth in knowlege of Eternal Truths. Namaste.
Awesome...this was great. The Khoi-San also migrated towards Tanzania, Rwanda, and Burundi. The instrument called the Umuduri. Another version can by found played by the Afro-Indian group name the Siddi. They play a version called the Malunga.
I cannot fathom practicing Capoeira without having a deep respect and fair knowledge for its cultural roots and formation. It’s the reason why the ginga already encompasses so much expression of the soul. As an Asian, i feel the great need to honor the important aspects of Afro-Brazilian culture when i get the chance to represent it.
the ending background sound is just silly : P ( at 19:20 forward ) . Like I guess it is supposed to highlight how dangerous the angola capoeira moves are but they are not so it doesn't really work.
Thanks for noticing. The audio translation I provided is just a basic summary of what Reitel was speaking about. My next project on Angolans in Portugal will have text subtitles.
Thank you for your research and sharing this experience with us! 🤗 It feels like the more I am learning about the history of Capoeira the less do I know for sure. I am playing the regional and maybe that's why the angola is such a mystery to me 🤔
Capoeira has a North American cousin called 52 blocks it was developed during slavery and travel to prison and perfected in the street kept alive today in the Afro-American communitys
Yes the way he played Sao Bento Grande sounds like he is from Itaparica. I have heard Mestre No play it very similar with the last two dong dong being quick like that.
The roots of capoeira came from Africa nobody can deny it. But those caracteristics that came from Africa joined others caracteristics in Brazil, like the cooperation between african slavers and indigenous people. From that mix Capoeira cames from. In others parts of the world there were formers slavers, they had dance and music with instruments like berimbau but those dances isn't like capoeira.
I have discovered Colombian indigenous people also have the berimbau. I wonder if it was adopted by blacks in Colombia or developed simultaneously in South American indigenous cultures.
Hi. I made long time ago video called Ongolo Predecessor, you can see it on YT. I think an author of above video have based on my research without statement of it. Anyway, I don't have a problem with it. For me important is only the truth. You can make a lineage of teachings from masters of masters and so on, and you will reach actually Angolans, like Bentinho and Benedito, from who mestres Pastinha and Bimba learned jogo de capoeira, similarly their friends from their areas. There are also records of names of the slaves on the ships taken from Angolan ports of Benguela (port name is like a berimbau rhythm called Benguela, and like person without teeth as tribes from Southern Angola who made it during initiations), Novo Redondo and Luanda (like Caboclo de Aruanda) and Bentinho and Benedito are even listed there. People taken to the ports of Benguela and Novo Redondo were from southern Angolan tribes like Mucope (Mucubais) and Mulondo, and they learned "kapwela" from their friends and neighbours Bushmen (San, like !Kung), which played musical bow called Mburumbumba, and which has been also borrowed by Bantu people from Bushmen in their name mbirimbau. You can imagine that berimbau rhythms like Toque de Angola and Toque de Benguela are rhythms from the ports of Luanda and Benguela or composed in the honour of their origins. Hundrets of words related to capoeira comes directly from the Angola-Congo basin, like kilombo, manganga, mandinga, sanzala, mukambo, zumbi, and so on. You must be also aware how etymology works: when two groups of people meet and one group has a word for something, and another group has similar word for quite similar thing, they will be joined. The same happened between "kapwela" ("game", " jogo", from Angolan Bantu people who played engolo/ongolo/ngolo game during efundula and other initiation ceremonies) and "kaa+puera" ("old dead bush" from Tupi-Guarani Amerindians from Brazil). Anyway, the Bushmen people should actually take a credit. They imitated animals in their games like eland and oryx antilopes dances, zebra dance, giraffe dance, hyene dance, lion dance, elephant dance, healing dance, grass dance, and so on... They also made art rock in caves on deserts and savannas, and you can see what they painted beside animals: their imitation of animals, their plays, their dances similar to jogo de capoeira. In my opinion this is true origin of such cultural manifestations as capoeira -- it is so old as human beings. Actually San people have the most original DNA (both mt-DNA and Y-DNA) on the Earth, I mean they were the first modern humans. All humans now are their grand-...children. They are our ancestors and their culture is deeply into the nature, it comes from the nature. So the capoeira is natural art, and that's why modern gymnastic art forms created all over the world are incorporating movements from Capoeira, and their sisters like Ladja, Moring, Meringue etc. However it should also taken into account, that actually not only Angola and Congo had such manifestations, because migrations were present in Africa since long times. On the borders of Guinea, Liberia, Sierra Leone and Ivory Coast, there are monkey dances and also instruments like berimbau and drums similar to atabaque. And they were also taken into Brazil and Caribbean as the slaves. Even it was a revolt in Brazil of so called Males with practice of capoeira and knive arts, which in fact were from Mandingo-like ethnic groups from Guinea areas (like Malinke, Mandinke, Mandinga, Ma- cluster of people). Everything is connected and in this case we can find traces and connections between most of the things. You can see on YT some clips from lanfia80 user and you can read africawrites.com, this are valuable sources. "Bitter melons" documentary movie cited in this video is available for buying at der.org (der = documentary educational resources). I could write and write, but I have no more time. That's all.
Frankly, I think you shoudn't impose your vision of world to us. The american vision of world makes sense only to american people. African-american are not africans, as jamaicans are not africans. And so on. capoeira has its roots in africa but it's not african, like you. Understand?

Capoeira is from africa and unfortunaley its black Magic but the music is good. But the practice is Not Worshipping god. Its rather narcisstic.
Love it! Thanks so much for this historical overview. Saudades!🙏

lol
it came from Angola in Africa, it became famous in Brazil

Wrong
@@thrashingmetal It started in Brasil. It's ancestor art is in Angola, but Capoeira itself is from Brasil

Fascinating
5:30 tells me capeoria's roots are from Africa not brazi, but it perhaps evolved into something more martial when Africans had to fight the portugese.
I have discovered Colombian indigenous people also have the berimbau. I wonder if it was adopted by blacks in Colombia or developed simultaneously in South American indigenous cultures.
Hello Quenton, great work here. is there anyway I can contact you?
THANK YOU
start at 14:00 for history

Great work
so cool
Is there any DOCUMENTED evidence of connection between berimbao and capoeira before Bimba and Pastinha?

Foi no clarão da lua , que eu vi acontecer ... no vale tudo com jiu jitsu... o capoeira vencer !
Muzenza 😆😆😆 Viva Mestre Jaguara 👏👏👏
interesting when you play in the roda then realized how old these moves are.
19:19 u did good 👍🤸♀️🤸🤸♂️
That first toque, I learned as "Angola". "Iuna", is more like (notation): O, X-X, X, X, O, O, O, O, O, X-X, X, X, O-O-O-O, O, O...and so on..
Upon listening to the rest of the toque, I realized that I commented WAYYY to soon. Carry on brother, carry on
Extremely interesting

The berimbau was invented in south Angola and it was called hungu
u sound like the hometeam guy xd
The ancient version of capoeira, looks more like a dance than a martial art...
While the actual really looks more menacing...
Porque mierda lo hicieron en inglés lpm
Frankly, I think you shoudn't impose your vision of world to us. The american vision of world makes sense only to american people. African-american are not africans, as jamaicans are not africans. And so on. capoeira has its roots in africa but it's not african, like you. Understand?
This makes just as much sense as a non black person like yourself speaking for black people. None whatsoever.
Dafuq you on about
