Not just a song with a video clip of the words - this is actually a capoeira music video!! made by capoeiristas, for capoeiristas. The song is included in the latest CD of the group Axé Capoeira, "Axé Capoeira vol 7: É o som que me leva", produced by Mestre Barrão

Written by Mestre Barrão, this passionate song talks of the transformative power of capoeira - the beauty and strength not only of the art itself but also that which it imbues in it's practitioners. As the head of Grupo Axé Capoeira, Mestre Barrão is world renowned for his skill and teaching. He is a prodigious composer whose music is rooted in the authentic traditions of Brazil, just watch him play atabaque to see a man who feels and works with strong Axé!

Noite de saudade is a very beautiful capoeira song, incorporating capoeira instruments and the violin together. It was written by contra mestre Zé Baixinho of Grupo Mundo Capoeira as a tribute to Antonio Jacaré, perhaps Mestre Jacaré, a mestre who was doing capoeira in Belo Horizonte in the 70s (can anyone confirm this?).

This is a soulful capoeira song created by Mestrando Charm of Grupo Abada Capoeira. Mestrando Charm, aka Jorge Gomes Martins, has been training capoeira since 1976. He was recognised as a Mestrando in Grupo Abada in 1997. He teaches capoeira in Goiania, Brazil.
