E defesa ataque e ginga do corpo
- Capoeira Songs:
I love this capoeira song. Like always you can learn a little bit more about Afro-Brazilian and capoeira history through the lyrics which are translated in full below the video. Chorus in italics.
Thanks to Jcasti3 for putting it up on YouTube with the nice historical images. She has a lot more so check out her channel.
