Logo for TV Tarobá - Sponsor of Capoeira Maculelê for the Mundial

I'm not sure who found this, but it's nice that it's up on youtube! Dandhara, Mestrando Marcincho, and Fernando got to play a little capoeira and answer a few questions about capoeira and about the Mundial on TV Tarobá with Vitrine Revista.

A little bit of Capoeira Atlanta represented!

Axé, Maculelê!

A Trend in Capoeira: Benguela on the Rise

Mestre Fran and Professor Cascão play the capoeira game of benguela

It may have been my beginner's naivety, but I doubt it. There seems to be a trend in the capoeira world regarding the three games.
