Capoeira Bruxelles ANGOLEIROS DO MAR

The group Angoleiros do Mar Brussels

 

History
The 'Centro Cultural de Capoeira Angoleiros do Mar' has been founded  by Mestre Marcelo Angola on the 5 of March 1999, in Barra Grande, a fishers village on the island of Itaparica, Bahia, Brazil. This remains today the 'home' of the groupe, receiving numerous students each year. The island of Itaparica is located in the bay of all Saints, the cradle of Brazilian civilization , where successive generations of capoeiristas maintained the roots and traditions of Capoeira Angola, while influencing its history, philosophy and artistic movements..

Philosophy
The philosophy of Angoleiros do Mar includes responsibility for the development of our own work at different levels , seeking to nurture and develop the technical and theoretical capabilities of a capoeirista (name of the player of capoeira). We use Capoeira as a valuable educational , artistic and cultural resource, seeking to deepen the development of capoeira , and restore the understanding of the value of the Mestre as a producer and transmitter of Brazilian culture and the Brazilian experience..

Eu sou Angoleiro ...

For Angoleiros do Mar, Capoeira Angola is an expression of life and liberty, and must be practiced with respect and attention. Today Angoleiros do Mar Itaparica attracts various practitioners of Capoeira communities in Brazil and abroad , in order to exchange knowledge, education and culture. In addition to being a school that promotes the formation and development of Capoeira Angola , we are a research center in a constant search for Capoeira.
