Capoeira

Capoeira is an Afro-Brazilian art form developed by enslaved Africans in Brazil that blends martial arts, acrobatics, dance, and music, traditionally performed in a circle called a roda accompanied by instruments like the berimbau and call-and-response singing. Practitioners exchange flowing, often playful kicks, sweeps, and evasive movements rather than direct strikes, emphasizing rhythm, deception, and improvisation. It is practiced worldwide today as a cultural tradition, fitness activity, and performance art, recognized by UNESCO as intangible cultural heritage.
