The Little Capoeira Book

Front Cover
North Atlantic Books, 1995 - Capoeira (Dance) - 147 pages
No one knows exactly how Capoeira started or what its original purposes were. However, there are many theories. Unlike most books that present only one theory, this book gives the most popular theories and gives reasons why they may or may not be true. The Little Capoeira Book also discusses some of the most famous Capoeiristas and what effects they have had on the art. In addition, it goes on to describe how the two major branches: Angola and Regional, came about and what their differences are.
