Capoeira Angola From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Capoeira Angola is the traditional style of Bahian Capoeira . It is usually, although not always characterized by playful, ritualized games , stressing interaction between the two players. Contents History O Jogo De Capoeira Angola Music Conclusion ... edit History Capoeira has its roots in the West African culture that was brought to Brazil through African slaves. It is a point of debate as to whether Capoeira came to Brazil fully formed, or was the product of a synthesis of different African cultural traditions within Brazil. It developed mainly in three places: Recife Rio de Janeiro , and the state of Bahia . While in the first two places, Capoeira was violent, and had no music, in Bahia it became more of a ritualized game, with a strong musical element. This is the style that is today referred to as Capoeira Angola, a term originally coined by Mestre Pastinha in an attempt to differentiate it from Capoeira Regional , which was created by Mestre Bimba in the 1930's. Since the creation of Capoeira Regional, the popularity of Capoeira Angola began to go down. By the end of the 1970’s however, many players of Capoeira Regional began to seek out the older Angola masters in order to connect more with the roots of the game. Capoeira Angola thus experienced a ressurgence. This may also have been due to the fact that Capoeira began to be played outside of Brazil, where a greater number of capoeiristas became interested in Capoeira Angola.

Raízes do Brasil Capoeira - New York by ethnomusicology researcher, Karen Taborn special thanks to: Prof. Eduardo Ferreira Fundação Cultural do Estado da Bahia Biblioteca Municipal de São Paulo March 22, 2000 Abstract: Origin-Problem Statement: The first group of African slaves arrived in Brasil in 1537. These slaves were brought from Africa by the Portuguese explorers to work on the Brazilian's sugar cane plantations developed the art in the work free hours left to them, thus training both mind and body for combat situations. As the slave-masters forbade any kind of martial art, it was cloaked in the guise of an innocent-looking recreational dance. In the 16th century, escaped-slaves founded a number of "Quilombos" , in which the art of Capoeira was further perfected. Many escaped-slaves, before they could reach the Quilombos, were captured by the "Capitão-do-mato" that ironically were sometimes African decedents or mulatos themselves. The "Capitão-do-mato" were hired by the Portuguese slavers and usually worked on their own. The inhabitants of Palmares, the largest of the Quilombos, lasted 65 years. The "Quilombo dos Palmares" was located in what is today's state of Alagoas, northeast Brazil. Its population was composed not only of escaped African slaves but also of native Brazilian Indians and other mixed races(Mestiços). It had an organized government system similar to an African Kingdom with a King and his Assembly. The best warriors on battles were chosen King; "Zumbi" was the most known King of all. The "Quilombo dos Palmares" fought for many years and was finally destroyed in 1694 by Domingos Jorge Velho and his troops. "Zumbi" managed to escape and many believed that he was immortal. Wanted by the authorities, he was captured on November 20th, 1695. He was killed and beheaded on the spot. His head was brought to a public Plaza at the "vila do Recife". "Zumbi" was considered a national hero and warrior, a symbol of liberty ; his name became a Capoeira legend. Capoeira was used not only in direct combat, it also inspired the battle strategy itself; feigning retreat, thus luring the over-confident enemy into remote territories only to strike back at an unsuspecting place and time.

COUNTRY STUDIES Angola - HISTORY Angola - History IN NOVEMBER 1975, after nearly five centuries as a Portuguese colony, Angola became an independent state. By late 1988, however, despite fertile land, large deposits of oil and gas, and great mineral wealth, Angola had achieved neither prosperity nor peace the national economy was stagnating and warfare was ravaging the countryside. True independence also remained unrealized as foreign powers continued to determine Angola's future. But unattained potential and instability were hardships well known to the Angolan people. They had suffered the outrage of slavery and the indignity of forced labor and had experienced years of turmoil going back to the early days of the indigenous kingdoms. The ancestors of most present-day Angolans found their way to the region long before the first Portuguese arrived in the late fifteenth century. The development of indigenous states, such as the Kongo Kingdom, was well under way before then. The primary objective of the first Portuguese settlers in Angola, and the motive behind most of their explorations, was the establishment of a slave trade. Although several early Portuguese explorers recognized the economic and strategic advantages of establishing friendly relations with the leaders of the kingdoms in the Angolan interior, by the middle of the sixteenth century the slave trade had engendered an enmity between the Portuguese and the Africans that persisted until independence.

Notes on the history of Capoeira Angola Where does Capoeira Angola come from? Ladainha a capoeirista answers the question about his master: "Meu mestre foi Salomao..." And after he has finished telling of his prowess he says at the end of the song: Eu nasci foi na Bahia Na Bahia eu me criei Vou lutar por essa Terra Nessa Terra eu morrerei (Source: Academia Jangada) So, wherever a capoeirista is born is where he grows up. He must have learned the art of capoeira in whichever country for which he is prepared to fight and where he would like to die. So does capoeira, as in the song, come from Bahia, in northwest Brazil? Another ladainha seems to confirm this, singing of Bahia, capital city Salvador, and capoeira in the opening lines. Bahia, nossa Bahia Capital é Salvador Quem nao conhece a Capoeira Nao sabe dar o seu valor... (Source: Academia Jangada Then, in the next lines, the ladainha seems to answer the question about capoeira's origin once and for all: Capoeira veio da Africa Africano que nos trouxe (Source: Academia Jangada) Africans brought capoeira to Brazil, so capoeira comes from Africa. It is clear that these Africans were slaves, as heard in the texts of many other songs, telling, for example, of an unknown black man who could be a slave, in another song of a mistress' nego who costed hard-earned money and who taught mandinga. So this far we know from the songs that the art of capoeira comes from African slaves. Another song leads us to speculate that capoeira, if not originating from Angola, definitely existed there. It was practiced by Angolan slaves, since this song speaks not merely of capoeira, rather specifically of "Capoeira Angola". In this song a woman is mourning her husband, who went to the harbor to "play Capoeira Angola":

History of Angola Site Links Home Search this Site History Posters Africa ... Privacy Policy In 1482, when the Portuguese first landed in what is now northern Angola, they encountered the Kingdom of the Congo, which stretched from modern Gabon in the north to the Kwanza River in the south. Mbanza Congo, the capital, had a population of 50,000 people. South of this kingdom were various important states, of which the Kingdom of Ndongo, ruled by the ngola (king), was most significant. Modern Angola derives its name from the king of Ndongo. The Portuguese gradually took control of the coastal strip throughout the 16th century by a series of treaties and wars. The Dutch occupied Luanda from 1641-48, providing a boost for anti-Portuguese states. In 1648, Brazilian-based Portuguese forces re-took Luanda and initiated a process of military conquest of the Congo and Ndongo states that ended with Portuguese victory in 1671. Full Portuguese administrative control of the interior did not occur until the beginning of the 20th century. The Front for the Liberation of the Enclave of Cabinda (FLEC), formed in 1974, rejects the Alvor Accords that included Cabinda as part of Angolan territory at independence. Since 1975, FLEC has engaged in low-level guerilla attacks against government targets and has periodically kidnapped foreigners in an effort to press for an independent Cabindan state. Leadership struggles within FLEC have led to its breakup into various splinter factions, two of which continue the movement's armed insurgency. The international community has rejected the notion of Cabindan independence. The Angolan Armed Forces (FAA) launched a major offensive against FLEC in November 2002. While the offensive was moderately successful, at least one of the FLEC factions retains a guerilla capability. Periodic, separate negotiations between the leadership of the two armed FLEC factions and the Angolan Government have failed to produce a settlement to the conflict.

In present-day Angola Portugal settles in 1483 at the river Congo, where the Kongo State, Ndongo and Lunda exist. The Kongo State stretches from modern Gabon in the north to the Kwanza River in the south. Portugal establishes in 1575 a Portuguese colony at Luanda based on the slave trade. The Portuguese gradually took control of the coastal strip throughout the 16th century by a series of treaties and wars. They form the colony of Angola . The Dutch occupy Luanda from 1641-48, providing a boost for anti-Portuguese states. In 1648 Portugal retakes Luanda and initiates a process of military conquest of the Kongo and Ndongo states that ends with Portuguese victory in 1671. Full Portuguese administrative control of the interior doesn't occur until the beginning of the 20th century. In 1951 the colony is restyled as an overseas province, also called Portuguese West Africa. When Portugal refuses a decolonization process three independence movements emerge: the Movimento Popular de Libertação de Angola (Popular Liberation Movement of Angola, MPLA), with a base among Kimbundu and the mixed-race intelligentsia of Luanda, and links to communist parties in Portugal and the East Bloc; the Frente Nacional de Libertação de Angola (National Liberation Front of Angola, FNLA), with an ethnic base in the Bakongo region of the north and links to the United States and the Mobutu regime in Kinshasa; and the União Nacional para a Independência Total de Angola (Union for the Total Independence of Angola, UNITA), led by Jonas Malheiro Savimbi with an ethnic and regional base in the Ovimbundu heartland in the center of the country.

Angola By: Ellie Loveman, Mine Action Information Center Since it gained independence from Portugal in 1975, Angola has faced many landmine challenges as a result of civil wars. Mines that were laid during conflicts now litter the environment, blocking roads and bridges and contaminating agricultural fields. These mines prove a constant threat to the people of the country as well as to those who are working to prevent future accidents through mine removal. Fernando Arroyo of the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs in Huambo, Angola, said, “Everyone ... appears to have buried landmines here. You’ll find Portuguese mines from the 1960s, Cuban mines from the 1970s, South African mines from the 1980s and Chinese mines scattered in between. Nobody kept records.” Angola faced more war in 1992 when a peace agreement with National Union for the Total Independence of Angola (UNITA) unraveled. A Haunting Past: The Origin of Angola’s Landmine Crisis An internal conflict between the Angolan government and UNITA wreaked havoc on the citizens of Angola from 1975 to 2002. AT and AP mines were planted by both sides during the war, an estimated total of 10–20 million—enough for one or two mines per person.

History of Capoeira Capoeira Regional in action The music sets the pace for the game and indicates what style of game should be played. Some songs relate to very specific situations or events in the roda whereas others simply tell a story. Capoeira Angola and Capoeira Regional each have their own very distinctive songs and rhythms each tied in closely with their traditions. A serious student of Capoeira is expected to know how to play all of the instruments and sing the songs of both styles. Instruments of capoeira in action Responding to a chamada An Overview of Capoeira Angola Profiles of two Mestres After years of dedicated training and research he began to teach what some historians describe as a mixture of Capoeira Angola and Batuque. This new form of Capoeira involved systematic training methods through the invention of attack and defense sequences. These sequences became known as Sequencia de Bimba (Bimba Sequence) and the Cintura Desprezada (Unattached Waist). He also introduced a rank system into Capoeira. Bimba's original grading system involved the wearing of colored scarves around the neck instead of cords around the waist as it is today. In 1936 Mestre Bimba issued a series of challenges in order to promote his new form of Capoeira. He agreed to accept challenges from any opponent in any style of fighting. Mestre Gato has said, "Mestre Bimba was a warrior with a warrior's mentality". Mestre Bimba was still undefeated at the time of his death.

The agency had been distributing boxes of teaching aids and equipment, but there was no resource material or guidelines for teacher training, nor for the teaching of basic reading, writing and mathematics. In order to consider the possible use of the UNESCO-PEER programme called Teacher Emergency Package, TEP, a feasibility study was undertaken by the expert. It was recommended to UNICEF to seek co-operation with UNESCO-PEER and UNHCR. The latter initially asked NRC to undertake emergency education projects in the provinces of Uige, Zaire and Moxico. The Angolan Ministry of Education agreed to mandate three of their experienced staff, to working on the adaptation of a TEP for Angola. I.1 Development of a TEP for Angola
